Tree expert likes what he sees

In the estimation of a tree expert, the first two medians in downtown Walhalla contain enough top soil and depth to support large hardwood trees.  The word that 101.7/WGOG NEWS received from Richard Harper is that once all four medians are finished downtown, his committee plans to test the soil composition and depth before the trees are purchased.  Harper announced during a Partners for Progress meeting Monday night that the committee envisions oak trees in the median—large enough to offer “a canopy effect.”
