Palms West Chamber relocates trees

ROYAL PALM BEACH - The Palms West Chamber is taking steps to preserve the four oak trees that have to be removed from their property in order to construct their new building.

The four oaks as well as 16 cabbage palms are being relocated to be used later in the landscape plan for the property.

“The oaks were probably 40 to 50 feet tall, I would think, and probably 30-plus years old,” said Scott Armand of Armand Professional Services, who is overseeing the landscaping for the project. “They were relocated to our little tree farm on the property until we get the building done.”

The completed project will include 40 additional trees on the property.

An actual building for the chamber has been in the works for some time. Currently they are located inside of a mobile unit. The new building will be 3,927 square-feet and will feature two public conference rooms. Their current building will be donated to charity if they can find someone to move it.
