Diseased ���� Program G��Is:
<br />o Conduct citywide surveys for diseased trees. A formal systematic survey of the trees
<br />in Roseville is not conducted. A survey would be beneficial in ensuring the health of
<br />the urban forest as would a strong, active trimming program. Assist certified tree
<br />inspectors on staff to conduct citywide surveys for diseased trees would be
<br />beneficial.
<br />o Establish a cyclic trimming program. The city does not maintain an annual, cyclic tree
<br />trimming program that conducts pruning for the health of the tree. As the urban forest
<br />matures, trees need to be trimmed. I n addition, the city does not replace trees on an
<br />annual basis and eventually, these aging trees will need to be replaced.
<br />— o Plant trees, as well as identify planting sites on boulevards and in the parks. I n the
<br />— past, trees were only planted on the boulevards if a government grant had been
<br />— awarded, which has not occurred for several years. Reforestation commitment is critical
<br />to maintaining our urban forest but not with this hit-and-miss approach to reforestation.
<br />We will by making grant applications as opportunities arise.
<br />o Continue to develop and improve the viability of the City's tree nursery located at the
<br />Arboretum. The intent of this nursery is to provide a source of trees that could be used
<br />for replanting projects in city parks and as well as an opportunity to provide a hands-on
<br />educational learning environment for the staff and the public.
<br />o Continue using GIS technology for the purpose of mapping of various conditions, such r�
<br />as Dutch elm disease and Oak Wilt, as well as monitor other pests. Forestry staff are
<br />able to easily access visual data, and monitor trends over time.
<br />o Actively advertise that the City offers forestry services, available to the public at no
<br />charge. Current program success is due to resident word of mouth and other
<br />government organizations (U of M, DNR and Dept, of Agriculture). An easy way to
<br />distribute information is with timely forestry information on the City's website.
