 Nah, forget it - it's just a Miller Lite truck.

Vandalism at Prudhomme's

All gone - almost!

A Doug's Tree Service crew worked over the holiday weekend to finish removing trees at Columbia River Park. Snow fell as the final trees were cut today.



 TIMBER!





 A lone sycamore stood strong against the elements as other trees were removed.

The view is a bit barren now, but new trees are slated to be planted in the spring.

"Wood" you believe it?

Doug's Tree Service continued cutting dead and dying trees at Columbia River Park today. A grapple truck was used to lift the cut pieces and haul them from the area.  At least one fully laden truck delivered the wood to Musser Supply along Lancaster Avenue. Several trees (marked with orange spray-painted dots) remain to be cut. A total of seven or eight trees were slated for removal.

Doug's makes the cut at River Park

Doug's Tree Service workers cut dead and dying trees at Columbia River Park today. The trees were considered by borough officials to be a public safety concern, and those slated to be cut had been marked with orange spray paint as reported HERE on Columbia Spy. Last fall, Columbia Borough Council approved the hiring of Doug's Tree Service to cut the trees at a price not to exceed $14,000. Reportedly, Doug's had submitted the lowest of several bids for the job.  As reported on Columbia Spy HERE, Borough Manager Ron Miller said that reforesting will be done in the spring to replace the lost trees.

An "uprooted" information plaque and a badly broken park bench were found near one of the cut trees close to the bridge today. Columbia Spy also found a chainsaw that was apparently left behind by Doug's workers and reported it to Columbia Borough Police, who retrieved it.  Calls to Doug's Tree Service were unanswered due to their office being closed today.













River Park trees are cut down

Doug's Tree Service workers were cutting down trees at Columbia River Park this morning (Saturday). New trees will be planted in the spring.
