Protectins our natural resources is of great importance tc� each of us .
Tree Gity USA certification is awarded to those cities who depict an
honest and active program to promote the Pro�.ection of our natural
habitat and of our trees . _
Lacelle Cardes and Mark Joosten of the Parks & Recreation Department
assisted on the application requirements and procadures that the City
of Rosemount needed to complete to qualify for this award . Their
efforts were suPPorted by other members of our DePartment on this
project �
7his past month we were contacted with a notification that we have been
given this Tree City USA Certification . 7he staff inembers of the Parks
& Recreation Department had worked hard to complete the application and
now share with the Council an�! the citizens their -sense of
accamplishment on the project .
With that sense of accamplishmen�t we do acknowledge that we cannot sit
' back on our laurels and let things slide . We were accepted for the
award- because of already meeting the pr-oject criteria . Now the wark
continuest
There are polices relating to trees that various city departments are
involved in . Work needs to be completed on a tree rapla�ement policy ,
care and management of boulevard trees , mana�ement of park trees ,
programs to manage and care for trees in holding pond areas , etc . .
At the present time staff from various city dePartments are working on
� tree preservation policy . It is our intent to join together with
committees and commissions to further enhance our policies relating to
the preservation of our trees and to continue to reforest our city.
This type of effort will help keep us qualifiecf for the Tree City U5A
ears .
