trunk that had grown too large to embrace. For 45 years this Ash Tree claimed its space and for most of those years it proudly showed its colors. The tree’s canopy began to show stress in recent years. Limbs failed to spout stem and leaf. Bareness replaced foliage. And unfortunately, despite our intervention efforts the Ash Borer continued to take its toll. Sadly, disease took its toll on 119 other trees on our campus. Directors Drive is not the same.
Swiss Village is moving forward with a tree replacement program. During the coming months you will begin to see young trees taking their place on our campus. We look forward to enjoying the shade and beauty that these trees will provide for years to come. Persons interested in helping with our tree replacement program can make donations designated for “Trees”. For more details see back page. Please let us hear from you!
