RESTORE TREE FUNDRAISER

THE ISSUE

The Waverly Golf Course has endured substantial loss of trees in recent years stemming from numerous diseases as well as natural causes. Over the winter we suffered the loss of another 57 trees continuing a concerning trend over the last 5 years. Dating back to the 1990’s 63 Ash trees stood on the Waverly Golf Course. That number has dwindled down to 5, all of which are now condemned due to the Emerald Ash Borer infestation. Additionally, we were once home to over 200 Scotch Pine trees. There are 23 Scotch Pines that remain, many of which await removal due to the locally originated Pine Wood Nematode disease. Tree loss this significant causes concerns for our environment, course aesthetics, course playability and on course safety.

THE NEED

The current ratio of trees removed to trees planted is no longer sustainable for our golf course, nor for our community. Thus begins a two year campaign to replace as many lost trees as possible with a focus on immediate and future needs. A large majority of the trees planted will be mature or instant impact trees that will help fill the significant voids left by the removed trees.
