<P><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I am
a part-time student in the Master of Forest Conservation program at U of
Toronto and I will be completing my final research paper this coming fall
semester. I have been doing studies for the Town of Cobourg throughout
this program including tree inventory, EAB Management Plan and coordination of
their Heritage NeighbourWoods pilot program this past summer with the town
arborist. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I am
starting to conduct background research for my final paper which will focus on
mature and heritage tree preservation and management options. I am
looking at mature boulevard trees in the heritage dristrict as well as mature
trees in Victoria Park along the Cobourg beach. Of particular concern
are the park trees and the impact of increased park use and major festivals
primarily relative to soil compaction. There has also been media
attention lately surrounding the impact of 'Ribfest' due to heat and
grease. The main park study area has recently seen the death of two
mature elms due to DED and branch union failure of large silver maples.
The remaining mature trees are primarily silver maple, a butternut and some
massive cottonwood along the boardwalk which have been getting attention as
heritage candidates from council and the community.

<P><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I
have not yet found much background information, guidelines or precedents
on managing user impacts in public urban parks and would appreciate any
experience or insight this group can share. The Town has started doing
some investigation this year including compaction testing around trees.
Testing leading up to the Canada Day festival in dry conditions revealed
extreme compaction. This will be an ongoing study to gather data under
various conditions in spring and fall. There are also discussions about
mitigation measures such as radial excavation and mulching.
