The scope of the tree removal work will include burned trees that have fallen, those with burned roots that are leaning but haven’t fallen, and trees that are partially burned near the base and have little to no structural support and are at risk of falling. This work is not related to the FireSmart program.
Work is expected to be complete by the end of October.
