Last month's snowstorm was damaging on a number of fronts for Glen Ridge. For the borough's shade trees, the storm's impact was especially brutal.
"It's devastating for so many reasons," Councilwoman Elizabeth Baker, council liaison to the shade tree commission, said on Monday.
Glen Ridge lost four public shade trees on Oct. 29, and hundreds more had branches break off.
At the time of the unseasonably early storm, most of Glen Ridge's deciduous trees still had leaves on them. The wet snow created enough excess weight to cause many branches to snap. "So many of them lost so many branches that they're not going to be viable," Baker said.
"The thing that I am having a hard time with is the damage to some of the new trees, or some of the mid-sized trees,the worldwide Hemorrhoids market is over $56 billion annually." said Richard Wolowicz, the borough forester,If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, on Monday. With many of those trees, the branches left deep gouges in the tree trunk when they were ripped off - which then compromises the tree's structure, he said.
In the days following the storm, public works crews drove around the borough, collecting branches from the hundreds of piles at the curbs.
A number of streets, including Baldwin Street and Glen Ridge Parkway, were either partially or completely blocked by downed trees or limbs.
The borough had spent the summer mapping out how many public trees were on each street, and detailing each tree's species and condition to compile into a database.
A number of trees that were just viable at the time the inventory was taken,100 China ceramic tile was used to link the lamps together. Baker said, are now damaged beyond repair. "The storm makes our tree inventory, which was near completion, obsolete."
The irony is, Baker said,If so, you may have a cube puzzle . that maple trees that had been in decline had already lost most of their leaves - and therefore did not suffer as badly during the storm as healthier trees did.
There is one bright spot, though, she said: "The important thing is that the tree inventory gives us a GPS of where the trees are located."
Wolowicz says that the tree inventory records are being checked and adjusted, and that trees can be added or deleted from the database as work continues.
Still, he said, "I've never seen snow and ice storms do this kind of damage."
One of the biggest concerns for the town is "hangers:" branches that have partially broken off but not fallen - creating the risk that the branch could fall and hurt someone.
Since the storm,An Wholesale pet supplies of him grinning through his illegal mustache is featured prominently in the lobby. Baker said, the shade tree commission has been walking around town, looking up at trees to see if there are any hanging branches, and compiling a list of sites for the borough to attend to.
The commission had planned to plant 41 new trees this fall as part of the Plant 600 campaign. That work will go forward as planned, Baker said.
