SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) — The San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department confirmed multiple trees will be removed from City Park Monday due to "drought stress and disease," according to a Facebook post Sunday.
Three pecan trees will be removed Monday. Two of them are being removed due to drought stress and disease, while a third's removal is attributed to its location "in a high use area between the river and the Pauline Espinosa Community Hall," per the post. That third tree's trunk is also reported to be 35% dead, with officials adding both insects and disease "have further compromised the structural integrity."

Under optimal conditions, most pecan trees live around 200 years, officials said.
