Discuss Davis Subdivision: The number and variety of trees to be removed are not listed on the plan. Also, the replacement trees and locations are not listed on the plan.
6. Discuss Earth Day: Our primary role will be in suggesting tree varieties to plant at the Hanover and Asa Packer Elementary School locations.
