Tree Tip…What about Street Right-of-Way Trees?
This tree tip came from the Idaho Department of Lands- Community Forestry Program and Idaho Lands Resource Coordinating Council.
About 80% of a community’s trees are in residential yards on private property. The majority of others are on street right-of-ways. Do residents in your community know what they can and cannot do with those trees?
Many may not.
•Make sure the rules are clear in the city ordinance.
◦Is a permit needed to plant or remove a tree?
◦Who is responsible for street and sidewalk clearance, or other pruning?
•Publicize the rules at least annually – by newspaper ads or a letter to the editor.
•Print door hangers and use Scouts or other service groups to place them at residences.
•Include occasional slips with utility bills or other mailings.
Communication prevents conflict!
