Last Friday, preschoolers from the Woodside School got to sprinkle dirt on the first tree replanted at Rollins Park after the city of Concord cut down 200 red pines threatened by insects.On Monday, it was Concord General Services turn.Crews began to re-plant close to 50 trees and bushes mostly in the area where the pine trees were cut down in February of 2017. The re-planting should take most of the week, according to Ryan Rambeau, tree supervisor for the city. The city plans to plant a variety of species, with different growth patterns so their blooms will occur at different times of the year, Parks & Recreation’s Chris Jacques said. Some trees will be provided by Concord residents through the city’s Adopt-A-Tree program. Jacques said they have raised about $2,000 through $50-$100 donations. Donations of $350-$650 can buy a single tree, whereas larger donors can purchase five trees of various species at $2,750.
