Chainsaws – $1,300
We use chainsaws to clear hazard trees and keep up with myriad tasks throughout the park.
Leaf Vacuum – $1,300
Imagine raking your yard in the fall. Now increase that by 15! Allerton has to remove leaves from 15 formal gardens every fall, a vacuum will help save time and energy!
Debris Blower – $5,500
This hefty tool allows park maintenance staff to clear miles of road of leaves in the fall, clean the parking lots in the summer and tidy up after construction projects. We currently have one but it is broken beyond repair!
Wood Splitter – $8,000
Allerton heats 6 buildings with wood burners! We save thousands of dollars with renewable energy by using this system…but we need a wood splitter to make it happen!
