Park Development Corp. Says Trees are All Right

Responding to a reader inquiry about the condition of the trees being held near the foot of Pier 3 for eventual transplantation to Pier 6, we requested information from the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation. Today, Nathan Tinclair responded for the Corporation:

We understand completely your reader’s concerns, and we have paid close attention to the condition of the trees which will be planted at Pier 6. The trees are currently in a temporary nursery on the site, and we have taken many precautions to ensure that they remain healthy and vibrant until we are able to plant them at Pier 6. Our landscape contractors are taking diligent care of the trees in the nursery including giving the trees special biological inoculations which will ensure that they will stay in good condition until they are transplanted in the coming months.

Thanks for your concern, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
