2004 NJAISA Annual Work Day
Saturday December 4th, 8 am – 3 pm
Branch Brook Park, Newark, NJ
Thanks to all the efforts of Paul Cowie, Harry P. banker, and the rest of the Work Day Committee, we have another great event scheduled to improve the health and safety of a great community tree resource at Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ. Your prompt reply is needed as we are committed to providing a full day of tree work for this nationally known Essex County Park.
We will be gathering at the entrance to the park off Clifton Avenue in Newark. The easiest way to enter the park is taking Route 280 to Exit 13, Clifton Avenue. Rt. 280 can be accessed from the east via the NJ Turnpike, Exit 15W, or from the west via Rt. 80. The entrance to the park is near Sacred Heart Cathedral, and will be plainly marked with signs. You will be assigned tree work according to our needs and your abilities and equipment. Section leaders are assigned to control work areas within the park, and all questions on necessary tree work must be directed to them. Once assigned to an area, make sure you know who your section leader is. Tree work will be elevation pruning, hazard pruning, invasive species removals, and dead tree removals. All removals will be marked by the section leaders, and only marked trees will be taken down. Debris storage sites will be located in the park – again check with your section leader as to these locations.
We will be working in the gazebo area in the morning, followed by the roadway to the Cerone ball fields, and lastly behind the visitors center at the north end of the park. There are many low bridges in the park, but there are ramps to avoid them. For safety and ease in traveling around the park grounds, NO AERIAL LIFTS WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE CENTRAL ROADS OF THE PARK! We need 2 cranes and some log trucks, but mostly aerial lifts for utility line clearance, buckets and climbers for near- and off-road tree pruning. Coffee, lunch, and restrooms will be provided. A group picture will be taken after lunch before resuming or reassigning crews, as we have done every year!
Please fill out the volunteer from below as completely as possible, and return it to NJAISA by fax (732-574-9111) or email (trees4nj@aol.com). In case of inclement weather, call 732-574-9100 to listen for a postponement announcement. For other information or details during Workday, call 908-472-7855. Other information will be available during the week by calling Harry Banker at 973-887-7064 or online at www.njarboristsisa.com. We look forward to your participation!
