Fifteen trees, possibly more, are available to Lake Shores residents this coming fall. The City of Fort Wayne will plant them in the park strips. These trees are available on a first-come first-serve basis, whether or not you had an Ash tree removed. A number are already spoken for.  If you are interested, you need to contact Walt Halley at 747-0165 as soon as possible.
