FAQs
The forestry department conducts an annual survey of City trees, usually in June. During survey our arborists look for dead, dying, diseased, or structurally unsound trees. Those trees that are no longer viable are marked for removal. The survey typically generates 300-400 tree removals each year.
The forestry department prunes trees on a 10 year cycle we call our Sectional pruning program. For minor tree issues that arise between pruning cycles we allow residents to prune branches up to 1 inch in diameter so long as the work is performed from the ground using hand tools.
Generally a resident can expect that the tree stump will be removed during the autumn following tree removal. The forestry department typically begins stump grinding in late August and continues into November.
The forestry department manages tree species selection in order to increase the diversity of our urban forest, select the right tree for the right place, and to maximize efficiency of crews during the spring planting season. For these reasons we do not allow residents to select replacement species.
In most cases, yes. The forestry department plants a new tree for each tree it removes. Planting occurs in the spring of the year following tree removal.
Forestry will only spray the hive if it is low in the tree and an immediate hazard to safety. Otherwise we do not spray bee or wasp hives.
The forestry department considers trees that are planted and maintained by the forestry department on public or City property to be City trees and part of the forestry program. Generally these trees are located along City streets within 10 feet of the curb, in City parks, or at City buildings.
