Landscaping work at the main entrance

Over the weekend of May 15-16 you might have noticed a bunch of people working hard at the Ann Arbor/Woodland entrance to the sub. The volunteer crew included Susan Miklovich, Kirsten Eye, Patty Palombit, Mary Rentschler and Scott Rentschler. They did a lot of work, including moving some plantings, removing others, putting in new plantings (they looked at drought- and deer-resistant plants), and other things. They are also going to add mulch to the area over the new few weeks, but are timing that to help minimize the risk of losing new plantings. If you see them out and about, please thank them for their great ideas and hard work.

We are also going to look at what we can do about the deteriorating condition of the wooden sign at that entrance. We might be able to get away with some light touch-ups (paint) to it and put off replacing it until 2022, but we will begin looking around at options.

Arbor Day Event at Colony Park – Update!

Update: The Arbor Day event and tree planting that was to take place on April 30th will be postponed to Fall 2021due to the Cicadas event that will take place this year in May and June. These Brood X cicadas can be very damaging to young trees so with that in mind the event will move to the Fall.

Mark the date – April 30th at 1pm. The City of Saline will be having their annual Arbor Day event at our neighborhood Colony Park. There will be a tree planting ceremony with more details to come.

Snow Update

I apologize for the delay in getting things cleared this morning. The crew is here now and will get things cleaned up. We’ll be discussing the timing of events with the snow contractor in the next couple days. We needed to have them clearing first thing this morning.

Regards, Scott Rentschler

Snow Event – February 15th

6-10 inches of fluffy snow is expected tonight. Due to this, Dan Boswell, our snow contractor is expecting to clear the neighborhood twice, the first time when there is 5-6 inches on the ground, then again at the completion of the event after the city has cleared snow. This will be sometime later Tuesday morning. If you have questions or issues feel free to send us an email at bod@salinenorthview.org

Update: The snow contractor went through the neighborhood last night around midnight. They will go through again later today when the snow stops and the city has completed their clearing.
