TREE REPLACEMENT VOUCHER PROGRAM

This year, the City of Bozeman Forestry Division will be continuing its tree replacement voucher program beginning on May 1, 2009. 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 $75 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:

• Minimum diameter of 1.5”
• Not conflicting with underground or overhead utilities
• Not encroaching into traffic sight triangle or signage
• Inspected and removed by city forestry personnel
• Spaced within the proper distances from existing trees (some sites may not have room for a replacement tree do to existing trees/utilities)

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!!!!!!!
