action. <br />Why is this important? Over-population leads to hardship for the <br />o <br />deer, as they do not have enough to eat. Roseville citizens request <br />that some control measures be taken, as deer eat trees and plants <br />in residential areas. Deer in the streets have led to accidents. Yet <br />citizens also enjoy wildlife and want deer in our city. It is important <br />to develop a reasonable, thoughtful management program. <br />Where can I find out more about it? (URL) <br />o <br />EAB (Emerald Ash Borer) Program <br />What is it?The Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native pest that feeds <br />o <br />on and destroys ash trees. It first appeared in Roseville in 2013 <br />and the infestation has spread to all zones of the city. Roseville has <br />inventoried over 1800 ash trees on public lands (parks and <br />boulevards). Current thinking is that all of these will eventually get <br />EAB infestations and die. The City has a management plan to treat <br />some of the healthier ash trees in significant locations, and to <br />gradually remove and replace the others with a variety of trees. <br />Why is it important? <br /> Over the next few years, the City will lose a <br />o <br />very significant portion of its public trees. It is important to have a <br />reasonable, cost-effective method to treat, remove and replace <br />these trees that comprise a large part of the City canopy. A wide <br />variety of trees are being used to replace the ash trees so that no <br />one tree variety will again comprise such a large proportion of our <br />canopy. <br />Where can I find out more about it? (URL) <br />o <br />Tree Board <br />What is it?The Parks and Recreation Commission serves as the <br />o <br />Roseville Tree Board. The Commission provides input, advice and <br />updates to the staff and City Council on all tree related issues <br />including EAB. <br />Why is it important? <br />It is important that a citizens body and <br />o <br />Department of the City have a focus on thecommunity forest for <br />the benefit of current and future generations. <br />Where can I find out more about it? (URL) <br />o <br />DYP (Discover Your Parks) <br />What is it? <br />DYP is an annual summer program of the Parks and <br />o <br />Recreation Department. From June through August, a weekly <br />evening event is held in a different city park, consisting of games, <br />crafts, snacks, and the puppet wagon. Families can explore the <br />park, talk with Parks and Recreation staff, and meet Parks and <br />Recreation Commissioners. <br />Nancy Parks & Rec Primer (partial) draft 1220176 <br /> <br />
