TREE PROGRAM UPDATE #4

What has been going on with the tree program in Greenhills? 

• Tree pruning and some removals continue throughout the Village.
• Comprehensive work in the “H” block begins NEXT WEEK.
• Our Arborist has completed the annual assessment of all trees in the Village, and identified a number of trees for removal or pruning that we will be following up on in the next few months.
• A more intense assessment of the trees in the B-block is underway and may take a few weeks to complete.
• The entire route of the Red, White & Blue Parade has been clear-pruned. 

What is clear-pruning? It is when lower limbs are removed to a height

of 8 feet on sidewalks and 14 feet on the streets to allow pedestrians and vehicles, respectively, to be able to walk and drive without hitting a tree limb.

There have been numerous coyote sightings around the Village lately. 

The best thing you can do to make your location less desirable for coyotes is eliminate any food sources.  This would include your garbage – keep tight fitting lids on your cans.  Keep your small pets inside unless you can accompany them and/or have them on a leash. 

If you see a coyote while out with your pet, pick the pet up immediately.  Avoid feeding pets or wildlife outside your house. The animals you are attracting become easy prey for the coyotes.

To scare a coyote away experts recommend screaming, yelling, blowing a whistle or a horn.
