Park Place Updates

STOLEN MOTOR SCOOTER

I wanted to let the neighborhood know that my motor scooter was stolen from in front of the Heidelberg Apartments sometime between 9:00am and 7:00pm on Wednesday July 29th.  It is a white "Lance Charming" scooter with black rims, black seat and a black and white storage carrier on the back.  The PA licence plate is YHP82.  I have attached a photograph. [Can't get images to work in the e-mails--if you want to see it, e-mail me and I will send it to you.] The scooter handlebars were locked in place, so it is likely that the perpetrators lifted the entire vehicle into the back of a pickup truck or van.  If anyone saw anything suspicious, please contact Leigh Halverson at leighhalverson@gmail.com or call the Pittsburgh City Police and reference report #189166.

SAT. AUG. 07 -- OAK WILT INFO SESSION (PFUF)

Oak Wilt in Pittsburgh: A Special Education Session

Oak Wilt is a fast-spreading fungus that is affecting oak trees in the Pittsburgh region. Once the fungus is discovered in a population of trees, they must be removed. A 2-acre stand of trees was removed from Frick Park this spring, and another large area of trees that are infected will be removed in Highland Park in late July/early August. What is Oak Wilt and what are treatment options? Will it affect trees in your neighborhood?

Join us for a special session with the Department of Forestry, Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest, and Steve Miller from Bartlett Tree Experts in Highland Park. See the area where trees were recently removed, and learn more about this aggressive fungus, how to prevent it, and how it is treated. A Question & Answer session is included.

Saturday, August 7th
9am-11am
Pool Grove Shelter, Highland Park
RSVP: Caitlin@Pittsburghforest.org or call 412-362-6360

Please wear close-toed shoes and dress appropriately for walking outside. This session is for adults only--please do not bring children under the age of 15.
