Crews will continue to remove dead boulevard trees even though vouchers are not currently available. The addresses will be recorded and the owners of the properties will be contacted before the removal of the tree. Any questions please contact Amy at 582-3227. This year, the City of Bozeman Forestry Division will be continuing its tree replacement voucher program beginning on June 3, 2013. The City will contribute toward the purchase of replacing boulevard trees that have been lost due to insect damage, disease, or vandalism.
Homeowners may obtain a $100 voucher for every 6” in tree diameter. Site inspections may be scheduled by calling 582-3227. Dead boulevard trees or those in very poor condition will be removed at the discretion of city arborists, along with stump grinding for trees over 6” in diameter. To be eligible for this program, removal trees must be replaced in accordance with city policy:
Property owners and local nurseries participating in this program must adhere to the City of Bozeman Forestry Division’s planting specifications. (Minimum size requirement is 1.5” in diameter. Please refer to our Tree Selection Guide for approved species.) REPLACEMENT TREES MUST BE PLANTED ON THE CITY BOULEVARD. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!
Vouchers are valid until December 31, 2013, 2013 vouchers will NOT be accepted after this date! For more information please call 582-3227.
