Reforestation <br />ik <br />New <br />PROGRAM <br />Last spring, the severity of spring storms resulted in the loss <br />of thousands of trees throughout Shoreview. In an effort to <br />rebuild our community's urban forest, the City Council has <br />authorized the creation of a reforestation program. <br />As part of this program, the City is offering residents the opportunity to <br />purchase trees at wholesale prices. The trees come from a reputable <br />Minnesota nursery and are inspected by the Minnesota Department of <br />Agriculture. However, since the trees are offered at wholesale prices, the <br />nursery (will not guarantee them. The trees are six to eight feet high, 1" <br />to 1-1/2" in diameter, and are delivered in 20- gallon containers to make <br />planting easier. Six varieties of trees are available to offer residents a <br />variety of options as they begin replanting their landscapes. <br />If you are interested in placing an order, please return the reforestation <br />order form along with your payment to the City of Shoreview by Monday, <br />December 14, 1998. The City will deliver the trees to residents in early to <br />mid -May. The City will also be coordinating a volunteer effort to assist <br />residents vvho are unable to plant their trees. If you need assistance, <br />please be sure to check the appropriate box on <br />the order form. <br />There is a limit of four trees per household. <br />Priority will be given to residents who lost trees <br />during the spring storms. Quantities are limited. <br />
