Felling of diseased Ponderosa Pines in Sorosis Park that were infested with pine bark beetles is complete, and now North Wasco Parks and Recreation District officials are waiting for spring to assess potential damage to the irrigation system before continuing rehabilitation efforts. District Executive Director Scott Baker says they will be putting stump removal and grinding out for bid in February, but they won’t evaluate the irrigation system for damage from the tree felling process until the threat of frost passes and the system can be turned on. Irrigation repairs will take place as the budget allows, and Baker says they are making preparations to use an above-ground watering system if necessary.
