Will Forest Ridge survive another hurricane?
September 4th, 2008 categories: Old Orchard
Forest Ridge is a community known for its beautifully landscaped entry way and lush green foilage. 
You will find numerous oak trees, ferns and other natural landscaping throughout the many subdivisions in Forest Ridge. Some of the trees have been standing for hundreds of years, while more recent plantings were provided by the developer and by the Homeowner’s Association.
When Hurricane Wilma hit Broward County in 2005, many of the oak trees sustained damage, but only a few surrendered to her wrath. Recently, a new crop of oak trees were planted to replace those that did not survive. They have been tended to and cared for by the maintenance crews of the Continental Management Group, which provides management services for our community.
As I drive through the community on my daily route, I can’t help but wonder what is in store for us and the newly planted young oak trees as Hurricane Ike makes its way toward the Bahamas. Will all the work taken to restore the beauty of Forest Ridge be in vain? Time will tell.
