Storm breaks power of Tower Grove Park trees in rare mass loss
Storm on July 19 toppled 114 trees at Tower Grove Park injuring thousands of branches. Officials warn cleanup will strain budgets as the park plans reforestation to match Henry Shaw’s original design while revising a decades long replacement schedule. The disaster eclipsed damage in other city parks and prompted fund appeals as agencies estimate costs and insurance coverage.
