Residents who applied for a front-yard tree will have their sites reviewed for suitability before receiving final approval. The committee reported that trees planted in 2025 appear to be surviving the winter, although spring watering plans for some locations are still undecided. Advertising for the memorial tree program will temporarily pause after two serious inquiries, and the committee approved a sample plaque for the program.
