James Madison Park

Due to the success in adopting and treating all eligible ash trees in Tenney Park this summer, we are now turning our sites towards James Madison Park, and hoping to adopt the 10 healthy ash trees there.

You can now contribute to the JMP community adopt-a-tree fund by donating through the link at the right.  Note that all of your tax-deductible donations made through this site over the next 30 days will be earmarked specifically to treat the trees in James Madison Park.  (similarly, donations made earlier in summer will remain earmarked for treatment of trees at Tenney park).   Thanks for your help and contribution!

A map and listing of the eligible ash trees in JMP is below.  Those marked in green are the top priority / healthiest trees, and those with yellow markers are potentially eligible trees, but may need re-evaluation by the city in order to adopt.

James Madison Park -- Ash Trees

7 Top Priority trees (green):

2 by Gates of Heaven
1 large lone nice tree east of basketball courts
1 tree just east of B-Cycle
1 very nice tree northeast of Playground
2 a close pair of tall ash adjacent to Johnson St near the pathway to the volleyball court

4 additional potential trees (yellow):

2 along Johnson street, on either side of the bus stop by the shelter. The middle of those 3 ash there along the sidewalk was not treatable.
1 tree nearest the volleyball court, which provides shade for the court and sidelines.
1 on South side of playground. Had some health issues and very near playground so would take additional evaluation
