Harbor Springs Tree Advisory Board - April 17, 2026

Summary

The Harbor Springs Tree Advisory Board met on April 17, 2026, discussing spring cleanup dates, the donated Japanese maple tree placement, 2026 street tree planting locations, and preparations for Arborfest. They confirmed spring cleanup from April 24 to May 31. The Japanese maple may be placed at the police station, City Hall, or state park, with the Garden Club involved in the decision. For street trees, eight locations were prioritized, including State Street, Lake Street near Shea Elementary, Ann Street, and Spring Street, with a focus on small to medium shade trees like hornbeam. Arborfest planning included speakers, demonstrations, volunteer coordination, sponsorships, logistics, and community outreach plans. Tree ordering and event logistics were assigned, with coordination involving city staff and volunteers. The meeting included introductions to the new city manager and discussions on community engagement and event signage.
