Subject:
2010 Master Street Tree List
Introduction
With the recent introduction of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) to our area, the Public Works
Department has decided to review the Master Street Tree List. The Master Street Tree List is
the official list of tree species that can be planted on our boulevards. By updating and revising
the Master Street Tree List the City can diversify the city's urban forest for future growth.
Discussion
Our old Master Street Tree List had two varieties of ash on it. They were the green and white
ash. And there were some black ash also planted on our boulevards. The old tree list also
has a lower population of tree species to choose from, which can increase the chance of
diseases and insects impacting the City's street trees health. See attachment for our old
master street tree list.
The new Master Street Tree List has taken into account a few more varieties of trees to put
more diverse population of tree species into our community and on our boulevards. This will
help the City of Cottage Grove maintain a healthy diverse tree species list to choose from
when planting new trees. See attachment for new master street tree list.
Recommendation
Recommend approval of the updated 2010 Master Street Tree List.
