Tree Removal Underway

The removal of dead, diseased and fire-prone trees has been taking place over the past two weeks.

Ninety-seven trees were identified for removal during the assessment phase of this first FireSafe grant. A first sweep through the neighborhood took place last week in which "easy" removals were accomplished. This weeks efforts have been focused on the "harder" trees which include large and not easily accessed trees.

A decision was made by The Meadows FireSafe Council a few weeks ago to prioritize our efforts and the budget as we continue to learn the processes of managing our first grant. We're maximizing the budget as best we can. It made sense to use the remaining funds for tree removal first and will address tree trimming with any remaining funds.

So, stay tuned and stay engaged. We're making our neighborhood fire safe tree by tree.
