The City of Lacombe recently removed several trees from the municipal reserve along Highway 2A, just south of Wilson’s Funeral Home.
This action followed a thorough assessment by certified arborists, who identified the trees as "danger trees" due to disease, structural instability or significant storm damage.
“These trees posed a substantial safety risk to residents and nearby property,” said the City.
“The decision to remove them was made in the best interest of public safety and in accordance with the City’s tree management and risk mitigation procedures.”
The City acknowledges the community’s appreciation for green spaces and says it remains committed to preserving and enhancing Lacombe’s urban forest.
Residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the Parks Supervisor.
