Shade tree disease control program
The city’s shade tree disease control program manages tree diseases such as Dutch elm disease and oak wilt on private and public property to prevent epidemic-level outbreaks.
The city’s natural resources staff provides consultation and inspection services to residents to diagnose and verify if an elm has Dutch elm disease or if an oak has oak wilt. Tree inspectors scout the city street by street throughout the summer, and fit in inspection requests when they reach the reported neighborhood.
