Three trees downed in Portage park

Three trees downed in Portage park

Thursday marked the end of an era in Portage du Fort, as crews were on site to cut down the three tall trees in the town’s Parc Commemoratif Brosseau. According to Mayor Lynne Cameron, the towering trees, which were each over 100 years old, were becoming safety hazards during recent storms, with large branches falling to the ground. “We wanted to be proactive when it comes to the safety of both residents and visitors,” she said, adding that upon slicing the trees open they found them to be in a “dangerous state of rot.” The municipality will replace the trees, and will designate them as memorial trees after former Portage residents.
