Carey Park golf course to get new trees

CITY OF HUTCHINSON 

Our tree nursery, located just east of the McQueen ballfields, has been home to several large trees that we've been unable to transplant due to a lack of equipment.

Although the nursery was established years ago, it hasn’t been used for tree production as it wasn’t cost-effective. However, we’ve got some amazing, quality trees just waiting for the right home!

Thanks to FEMA funds received after the storms we experienced this summer, we’ve been able to partner with Shady Waters Landscaping to help with the transplanting process. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be spading and relocating 16 beautiful trees from our nursery to the Carey Park golf course. 

This move will help address the significant tree loss the golf course has faced over the years, with many trees succumbing to age and storm damage.
