More money needed to finish cleaning up trees felled by windstorm
A 111 km/h windstorm on June 20, 2017 brought down roughly 15,000 trees in Red Deer’s parks system.
Almost a year has gone by and it’s likely you’ll still see a felled tree or stump from that storm if you’re walking around the city.
In fact, there are about 600 trees or stumps which still need to be taken care of, according to Trevor Poth, The City of Red Deer’s Parks Superintendent.
He says city council will soon have to make a decision in order to pay for the remaining clean-up, as well as to determine which areas actually get replanted.
