POINT BREEZE – The Oak Orchard Harbor looks different today after three dead sycamore trees were removed by the Orleans County Department of Public Works.
The DPW cut down two trees right by the channel. There were two benches in between those trees.
The trees’ roots caused the nearby asphalt to rise and crack in spots.
Another tree was taken down in the parking lot. The trees were considered a danger to people and vehicles close by.
Here is the Oak Orchard Harbor on Aug. 29, 2019 with the two trees next to the benches.
The state owns the land and is planning improvements for the site, including making it more handicapped accessible, the county DPW employees said.
