Summer Pond Maintenance Information
The TrailMark Metro District (TMMD) is responsible for maintaining the ponds in TrailMark. The TMMD contracts with Aquatics Associates to maintain the water quality. Crews visit at least every two weeks to test and treat the water. Recently, residents reported seeing algae in Fairview Reservoir. Even with this monitoring, summer algae blooms can happen overnight when water temperatures are warm (76 degrees now) and also that treatment results are not immediate (i.e., usually takes 3-5 days). When blooms are ongoing, a follow up treatment is usually done as soon as the water chemistry recovers post-treatment. Questions about aeration were also received. The aeration is scheduled to run four hours on, four hours off so visitors to the area may not see the system running. During maintenance visits, the oxygen levels are tested and the timing of the system would be adjusted if needed. The District hopes this maintenance information is helpful. However even with a plan in place, unexpected issues can pop up. We appreciate residents letting us know if they notice something out of the ordinary. Posted July 1, 2020  Photos by Andy Marquez

From Colorado Parks & Wildlife
BE ADVISED OF BEAR ACTIVITY IN YOUR COMMUNITY CPW has received calls about bear activity in the TrailMark subdivision. Your community is located in known bear habitat. These intelligent bruins can be lured into communities due to attractants and the prospect of a free and easy meal. If attractants are not removed, bears will likely continue to linger in your neighborhood. Bears that rely on human food sources ultimately show an escalation of behavior that could result in a dangerous outcome where they may need to be euthanized. Removing attractants can help bears move out of your neighborhood on their own, reduce conflicts and keep you and the bears safe. The biggest attractants that lure bears into urban setting are trash and birdfeeders. You can help by adhering to the following:
Teach your children to be SMART if they have a close encounter with a bear: S - Stop. Do not run! M - Make yourself look big A - Announce your presence in an authoritative voice “Leave me Alone!” R - Retreat by backing away slowly T - Tell an adult about the encounter Encourage your neighbors to do the same! Thank you for your assistance in keeping Colorado’s bears wild and alive! Learn more about living in bear country: https://cpw.state.co.us/…/…/LivingwithWildlifeWildBears.aspx or contact the CPW office at 303-291-7227.

Tree Concerns in TrailMark
Many of us residents in TrailMark have recently noticed bleached, yellow looking pine needles in our Austrian Pine trees. It sure looks like the trees are either diseased or sick. Well, you may be surprised at what one of our board members discovered! Board member Ken Colaizzi has a friend who owns a local tree servicing company in Arvada. The owner of the tree company, who is also a certified arborist, warned Ken and all of us to not freak out when we see our pine trees with yellow needles. The arborist mentioned that this year the trees were shocked by the lack of water and dehydrating winds along with the severe, rapid change of temperatures within 24 hours. The professionals call it winter damage. The tops of many pines, including the Austrian pine, suffered a blow. The arborist strongly suggests that you do NOT remove or cut anything from your trees now (unless necessary, and pruned by an arborist). The arborist also said that if the tree becomes engulfed in yellow pine needles, or gradually deteriorates, then he recommends the homeowner call a certified arborist to give his/her professional opinion on a treatment or removal plan for the tree. Just a friendly reminder, if you are going to remove a tree in a yard, it does require DRC approval. Forms can be found on the HOA Documents & Forms web page. Original TrailMark owner, and fellow board member, Bill Kuenning also had some words of advice in regards to his personal Austrian Pine tree. “My Austrian Pine tree periodically does what the arborists say it will by losing needles in patches - sometimes even mid tree. The guidance has always been to NOT remove or trim anything. Let the needles fall off and the branch do what it will, which is usually grow more at the tip and thin further in. When this has happened to us in the past, we have left the tree with no spraying or trimming… just watering; so there is no more trauma. It has always worked out very well and the tops lose what they will lose and recover upper growth. Feed them at least twice per year and try to avoid dry trauma.” Posted June 20, 2020

UPCOMING EVENTS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TRAILMARK EVENTS AND COVID-19
The HOA Board has considered whether to continue with our summer social events and has decided to proceed with the concerts, food trucks, 4th of July parade, and summer garage sale. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic our events will only be offered if all participants do so in a safe, responsible manner. This includes observing social distancing and wearing face coverings.
If you wish to participate in the various events, you must agree to “play by the rules” – Participants must wear a face covering and observe 6-foot social distancing between family units. Children 2 years and younger are not required to wear face coverings provided they remain within the family-unit space. If you’re comfortable, go enjoy yourself – listen to some summer music, indulge in food truck offerings, cheer on our kids, celebrate American independence, and clean out the garage and basement of unwanted stuff. However, if you fear being in a crowd, or are uneasy about participating, please stay home.
The TrailMark Board assumes no responsibility for any illness caused by attending our events. If families, including children, do not observe social distancing and the use of face coverings, you will be asked to leave. Failure to leave when asked, or if it is determined that attendees are not observing our simple rules, then for the safety of all TrailMark residents future events may be cancelled.
If you choose to attend our events, PLEASE do so responsibly. We all thank you.
