City to remove freeze damaged trees, tree limbs from parks

The City of San Marcos announced its crews will remove freeze damaged and diseased trees and tree limbs at city properties, including the Children’s Park playscape on Wednesday. 

The city’s efforts to remove trees and tree limbs began Monday with work taking place on a small section of the Dog Park. 

“Public safety is an important component of community forestry,” Urban Forester Kelly Eby said. “Some trees responded differently to the winter storm or were not adapted or ready for the extreme drop in temperatures. Our community may continue to deal with the aftermath of the freeze for several years.”
