Arden Hills Residents Can Receive EAB Tree Treatment Discounts <br />Ash trees are a common native species frequently planted as landscape or boulevard trees. More than one in five metro <br />area trees is an ash tree. All ash trees are at risk of mortality from Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an invasive beetle from <br />Asia. Rainbow Treecare will inspect your tree(s) at no cost to you in order to determine if a tree injection treatment is the <br />best option, and residents will receive a discount for EAB tree care services from Rainbow Treecare. All residents will <br />receive an informational postcard from Rainbow Treecare about these services. Browse their website <br />rainbowtreecare.com/emerald-ash-borer/city-partnerships/arden-hills/ or contact them at 952-922-3810 for more <br />information. <br />Buckthorn Pickup and Tool Rental for Residents <br />The Public Works Department is once again offering a pickup service <br />for buckthorn branches and leaves (no root waste). They will pick up <br />buckthorn on Fridays, beginning May 23 and continuing through October <br />31. To utilize this service, you must submit the buckthorn pickup request <br />form on the City's website. This form must be submitted by noon on <br />Thursday for pick up in the same week. Residents must place the buckthorn <br />in neat, manageable piles along the street curb, with the cut ends facing the <br />street. As a reminder, only buckthorn will be accepted. There is a helpful <br />buckthorn pickup procedures document on the City's website. Residents <br />can also dispose of their buckthorn at Ramsey County's collection site <br />located at 1881 Hudson Road, St. Paul. <br />For help with buckthorn removal, residents can reserve a buckthorn <br />removal tool (weed wrench) for one week at a time. Reservation requests <br />may be completed online, through the City's website, or in person at <br />the Public Works office. Once the completed reservation form has been <br />submitted, City staff will confirm the reservation and tool availability. <br />There is no fee for using this tool. <br />To learn more, sign up for buckthorn removal, or rent the tool, please visit https://cityofardenhills.org/1172/Buckthorn. <br />Inaugural Tree Sale <br />Did you know that planting trees on your property offers <br />many benefits such as providing shade and energy savings, <br />supporting ecological services, and giving you something nice <br />to look at! Adding trees to your private property also benefits <br />the community and urban forest at large. One mature tree can <br />provide enough oxygen in a day for four people! <br />The City of Arden Hills is partnering with Tree Trust to offer <br />a limited number of trees at a discounted price of $45 per tree <br />to residents of Arden Hills. Sales close on Friday, May 23 at <br />4:00 pm. Residents are responsible for planting their tree and <br />must call Gopher State One prior to digging. You must plant the <br />tree on your private property, not public property or the right- <br />of-way. Trees are on a first-come, first-served basis. You must <br />create a Shopify account in order to reserve and complete your <br />purchase. Trees must be picked up at City Hall on Saturday, June <br />7th between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. <br /> Please visit Arden Hills Tree Sale for more information about this fantastic opportunity! <br />https://www.cityofardenhills.org/1234/Arden-Hills-Tree-Sale <br />Tree Sale, Emerald Ash Borer and Buckthorn Information <br />cityofardenhills.org • April/May 2025• 7
