SALT LAKE CITY — About 175 trees in the Fairpark area of Salt Lake City are dying because of a mistake made in October. Now, officials are taking responsibility and say they are trying to fix it.“We're those folks who try to take care of and protect these trees, so it’s sad to have to report that we made a mistake,' said Toby Hazelbaker, the parks division director for Salt Lake City Public Lands.
'However, it is commonly used around other brushy and invasive species, like thistle and Russian olive, so it is common in our inventory to use this, it just wasn't the right place.' Some of the trees are full of leaves and standing tall, but the herbicide killed the others.Hazelbaker said they are working on a temporary solution to help bring shade to one of the hottest parts of the city.
