As part of our ongoing Urban Forest Management Program, LARMAC recently assessed trees throughout several neighborhoods in the Front Yard and Driveway Special Benefit Area and identified several trees for removal.
The tree assessment involves looking at each tree and the role it plays within the urban forest and includes evaluating a tree’s health, structure, and growth pattern. The primary goal is to create a safe environment allowing trees to grow and mature in a space that also reduces any negative impact on residential properties. In some instances, the trees will be cut flush to the ground and in others, the stumps will be grinded. The tree removals, scheduled to resume the week of June 23, will be completed ahead of the regularly scheduled tree trimming in the following neighborhoods: Trails, Westcott, Gables, Savannah, and Walden Park. At this time, no removals are scheduled for Surrey Farm.
A follow up assessment will be conducted once the tees have been removed to determine which trees, if any, will be replaced. We understand tree work can be disruptive and ask that you be mindful of any posted signage and instructions from the tree crews to ensure the work is completed as scheduled.
