4.2 Two Temporary Tree Carvings
The City of Windsor Public Art Application submitted by Paul Giroux, City Forester regarding Friendship Tree Wood Carving in Jackson Park is attached as Appendix "A". Over the years the City of Windsor's Urban Forest has been under attack by various invasive pests such as Dutch Elm Disease, Chestnut Blight and the Emerald Ash Borer. This unique carving is a way to commemorate Windsor's historical and majestic trees by creating a display that profiles the positive relationship that we have with the United States. This relationship is on display through the use of the most iconic national features being the American Bald Eagle and the Canadian Beaver standing together in a handshake.
The second tree carving will consist of birds, insects, animals and flora and fauna which will be located near the Robbie Burns art piece in Jackson Park.
Moved by T. Lawrence, seconded by Councillor Morrison, That the two temporary tree carvings located in Jackson Park BE SUPPORTED. Carried. S. Montcalm voting nay.
