In co-operation with the officials of Wildwood Park, at Harrisburg,
the Commission has completely eradicated the blight from that Park,
about 150 diseased chestnut trees having been removed or treated out
of a total of 1,290 trees. Here in a few cases the peeled stumps were
creosoted to show that method of sanitation. Considerable help has also
been given to the management of Fairmount Park. Arrangements have also
been made for the entire removal of blighted chestnut trees from the
State Live Stock Board’s Farm, in Delaware County. In the event of the
continuation of our work, it was also planned to eradicate the blight
thoroughly from the Valley Forge Park grounds.
