MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: REFORESTATION PROGRAM
DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1987
We have recently transplanted a number of ash trees from our tree nursery at
the old waste water treatment plant site onto City boulevards. This has sig-
nificantly reduced the number of trees at this nursery. I am hoping to purchase
some more seedlings next spring to replenish the nursery stock. However, there
are a number of soft maple trees still at the site. I would like to utilize
these trees in our City reforestation. Since soft maples are not suitable as
boulevard trees, I am proposing a tree give away program for planting trees
on private property.
The proposed program would be initiated in the latter portion of October, once
the trees have gone dormant for the year. The City should offer these trees
to its residents at no cost, on a first come — first served basis. I have
considered lining up a contractor to move the trees for a set nominal fee. We
could allow the citizens to transplant the trees on their own, but it would take
too long to remove all the trees. If I contact the contractor that we rented
the tree spade from earlier this fall, I'm sure we could establish a nominal fee
for moving all the maples. (Perhaps $25 - $30, which the residents would pay
as they sign up for the trees.) I would like the Council's input on establishing
this program.
