A development designed as an opportunity to enjoy Tahoe’s great outdoors requires the removal of 300 hundred trees on nine acres of privately owned land near the Lake Tahoe shoreline.

Under the agreement approved last week, MRA will pay the parks department $1,000 to store, install and care for the trees after planting for a period of two years.

The $60 million plan will target lower income areas where there are fewer trees than in wealthy neighborhoods.

The study also found that trees in a wildfire zone can die up to five years later, with islands of surviving trees shrinking in the years that followed.

Susan Teitelman writes, "Planting the right types of trees in the right places and providing good care to our trees will help to ensure a robust, diverse tree canopy that is more resilient to extreme weather of all kinds."

Susan Teitelman writes, "Missoula is no exception when it comes to deriving benefits from trees: our urban forest plays a significant role in keeping our community cool, healthy, safe, and climate resilient."

Armed with these spring pruning insights, gardeners can ensure a flourishing and vibrant landscape in the months to come.
