The dying trees create a hazard for visitors at the cemetery and golf course in Elmira
Elmira, New York – The City of Elmira has been cutting down trees in Woodlawn Cemetery and the Mark Twain Golf Course, citing potential danger to visitors.
According to The City, while the trees may look healthy on the outside, many are rotting inside.
The City explained at the March 24 City Planning Commission meeting that the dying trees create a hazard for visitors at the cemetery and golf course, as well as presenting a danger to the gravestones themselves.
According to Elmira City Manager Mike Collins, some of the American Rescue Plan money the City received was put toward tree removal.
The Mark Twain Golf Course tree removal is finished with the current round of ARP funds, but will likely need more trees taken down in the future, Collins added.
