Prince Albert’s parks manager has recommended the City bring in outside contractors to help deal with the overwhelming number of trees that need to be pruned or removed inside City limits. Parks Manager Tim Yeaman told council there are at least 38,074 trees city crews need to visit. That number does not include trees in City parks, or natural forests within City boundaries. Yeaman said the high number of unattended trees could lead to significant damage, and in some cases loss of life, especially during severe wind conditions or thunderstorms.
