City Arborist Grant Jones, who came to Bowling Green in 2016, has accepted a forestry superintendent position in Oak Park, Illinois. His last day with Bowling Green was Friday, April 16.
During the past five years Jones continued to expand on and improve the city’s urban forestry program by planting new trees, improving safety and reliability through tree maintenance/line clearance, educating community members of all ages, and assisting residents with tree concerns.
“Working here has been great. Trees have long been important to Bowling Green, and it has been fun to be a small part of that. I will miss the city’s staff and residents,” Jones said.
The city is seeking a qualified arborist to continue this work. Until the position is filled, residents may contact the Public Works Department at 419-354-6227 with tree concerns or questions.
