PORT ANGELES — City lawmakers should create a tree advisory board, hire a code enforcement officer and replace every tree removed from the urban canopy, a master arborist recommended.
John Bornsworth, senior urban forester and owner of Peninsula Environmental Group Inc., briefed the Port Angeles City Council on the value of street trees.
He presented the findings of a gap analysis that identified strengths and weaknesses of the city’s tree management and municipal code for street trees.
