Starting in June 2010, the District will begin its renovation of Ellington Field! It is an
exciting project. The fence will be replaced, the perimeter wall will be repaired and the entire
field will be landscaped and planted with trees, flowers and shrubs. The landscape architect
assured the BCA President, Lenore Rubino, that they are using native, drought-resistant plants
when possible. Starting in June, expect to see the removal of invasive and sick trees and plants.
An arborist looked over the field and identified every tree and plant. In September, the planting
will begin.

We will be starting a Friends of Ellington Field group in order to maintain the
trees. The BCA is applying to Casey Trees for help, and was told that if Casey can supply the trees,
more money will be budgeted towards plantings and flowers, etc.
A community presentation of the Ellington Field Landscaping Project was given on
May 13, 2010. The presentation consists of two parts (see links to presentation below). The first
describes existing conditions of Ellington Field and the new site plan. The second describes
proposed plantings and the schedule for the landscaping project. If you would like to be part of the
Friends of Ellington Field group, please contact us at ellington@burleith.org
