Tree Work on the Huron Avenue Hillside
In preparation for a major project to stabilize the steep "Glacken Slope" below Huron Avenue, City arborists removed a number of invasive Norway Maples (Acer platanoides)
Black Locusts (Robinia pseudoacacia) and Common Buckthorns (Rhamnus cathartica. In their place will be planted native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, all of which will help hold the soil and create habitats that willsupport native animal species ranging from rabbits to the larvae of native butterflies.
