Swasey Parkway News
A large birch tree on Swasey Parkway often climbed by children is off limits due to a recent spate of vandalism to the tree. The tree is one of the original trees on the parkway and sits about halfway down the park by the new pavilion. It is in danger of being lost due to a number of deep cuts made by people on the branches and trunk.  The Trustees of Swasey Parkway are consulting with an arborist to determine the best course of action to care for the tree.  In the meantime, the tree has been blocked off with yellow tape and signs informing the public to keep out.  The Trustees regret that the actions of a few have resulted in the loss of the use of this tree, but hope with proper care, the tree will remain on the park for generations to come.
