For the past several years local tree cutter Alex Ploen has “adopted” the Gold Coast area. With trees dying and dead in the Gold Coast Park, Alex has donated his time and skills to taking down these damaged trees. Neighbors have watched and approved, and individuals have ended up hiring Alex for their own individual projects. The accompanying photo shows Alex at work at one of the local residences. He can be contacted at [email protected] . Thanks Alex, for helping to beautify the Gold Coast neighborhood.
