Pine Beetle Management
Aspen Trees Replanting Program
Our Community Wildfire Protection and Pine Beetle Management programs will result in a significant loss
in tree cover and visual screening where private residential properties border the City's nature parks and green spaces.
To restore visual screening, while increasing wildfire protection to these homes, the City will supply Aspen trees to homeowners who promise to agree to irrigate and care for these trees.
Trembling Aspen trees are a natural species in our local forests where sufficient soil moisture occurs. The 6 to 8 foot trees will be delivered to homeowners for planting on City properties immediately bordering individual private properties, based on home owner desires, infrastructure locations and tree health concerns.
Homeowners will be responsible for ongoing irrigation of these trees.
All orders must be in by September 30.
Deliveries are subject to tree availability.
