[Staff] [Board] Tree removal planned for the week of July 22

[Wes Ernsberger]

The tree removal has been scheduled for next Wed, July 24.

Karen: You're off on Wednesdays but we'll have someone there the whole
time.

I will have them leave us some wood for firewood and a few sitting logs for
the firepit area.

Thanks, Wes
