Tree Protection Plan to Protect Historical Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers Monument Trees.

Mark A. Webber, RCA #706 has been working with the National Parks Services preservation of historical trees located at the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers Monument construction in Wilberforce, OH.

Lieutenant Charles Young was a soldier, diplomat and civil rights leader who overcame stifling inequality to become a leading figure in the years after the Civil War. In later years, Young was a distinguished professor at Wilberforce University and helped establish the marching band.

The Young property is currently under construction and one goal is to protect a group of trees that were part of the property when Lt. Young was alive. The NPS required that only arborists who were ASCA members and preferably Registered Consulting Arborists be involved with these tree preservation efforts. Webber's assignment was to critique the NPS plans and modify them to protect these value tree assets. Mark remains involved with weekly site meetings and periodic inspections to ensure these historical trees are protected for future generations.
