Pine Tree Removal Project
Work is Underway
Simpson's Tree Service began work in late January to remove up to 433 loblolly pines along Bay Creek Parkway and Arnold Palmer Drive.  After five weeks, 234 trees have  been taken down and their stumps ground.  Only trees that are damaging the asphalt are being removed.   Once the tree root problem is solved, we will be able to start work on a  repaving plan.

In addition, the golf course staff removed an additional 15 pines that were tearing up the parking lot of the Coach House building.
