TennGreen Requests Monterey To Restore Plants After Bee Rock Work

Monterey will look to replenish native plants around the TennGreen conservancy easement after clearing too far past the boundaries into the Bee Rock property.

Monterey Mayor Nathan Walker said the TennGreen Land Conservancy sent a letter to the town regarding improvements made to the parking area.

“They were actually very nice, and they just kind of reiterated that they would like to be consulted or at least know when we are doing things like that,” Walker said. “In all fairness, we did go a little far.”

Walker as well as Cultural Administrator Rafferty Cleary met with an official from the conservancy. Clearly said a city employee conducted the work, but the entity was not upset.

Walker said in the future, the boundaries should be better marked. Walker said the state has sent a list of native vegetation that can be planted.

“It’s done. We’re past it,” Walker said. “They’re okay with where we are at right now.”
