Tree Board Seeking Grant to Carve Two Large Tree Trunks in Heritage Park Patrick Plantenberg, Tree Bosrd The Townsend Tree Board received a grant to remove two large hazardous white cottonwoods (Populus alba) in Heritage Park. The stumps were left from 8-14 feet high so they could be carved into characters for the enjoyment of the children using Heritage Park (See Photos 1 and 2). The Tree Board now will be soliciting another grant to have a tree carving artist do the artwork. Children will be asked to submit their suggestions of what characters should be carved into the trunks. A committee will be formed to judge entries. Then artists will be asked to submit their renditions of the characters chosen.
Please submit any questions to Patrick Plantenberg at 406-431-4615 or suggestions for artists or characters to the Townsend Tree Board at 110 Broadway, Townsend, MT 59644.
