Diseased Tree Removal at Floral Park and Cummings Park. The map below indicates either EAB or Oak <br />Wilt. A tree contractor will remove trees greater than 12”. All stumps located in green/ mowed space <br />will be ground and restored. Floral Park tree planting plan is still underway. <br />The process for tree inspection and the rating system used by our 2 PW licensed tree inspectors is the <br />same for both proactive and reactive (resident requested) tree inspections. Using a mobile GIS <br />application, our inspector uses guidelines and reviews research from the MN Department of Agriculture <br />and personal experience to assess the overall health of each tree on both private and public property. <br />Ultimately, during the inspection we are looking for trees that are a health safety hazard or trees that <br />are diseased and have the potential of spreading the disease to surrounding trees. PW understands the <br />importance of habitat dead trees provide to wildlife. <br />Additional diseased tree maps, indicating trees located on city property are under development in 2023. <br />The EAB policy states all ash trees removed will be replaced. We believe the original intent for that <br />statement was to replace trees in open park spaces and not necessarily deep woods. Although, in seeing <br />the number of trees to be removed we recommend replacing a percentage rather than a 1 to 1 <br />replacement. The location, and quantity of new trees planted, direction is desired from the PTRC and <br />City Council. <br />67 EAB <br />e <br />WSB, Sources: Esri, HERE, Garmin, USGS, Intermap,
