Tree Committee to discuss possible elm removals

The St. Helena Tree Committee will discuss the possible removal of two trees from the Highway 29 elm tunnel at 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, at City Hall.

In January Beringer Vineyards announced they were seeking public feedback on tentative plans to remove the two trees north of the Beringer entrance, which pose a hazard to drivers turning onto Highway 29.

Committee members agreed the idea was worth exploring, but wanted to give the public a few months to provide input. Tuesdays meeting will include a follow-up discussion of the plan, but Beringer has not yet applied for permits to remove the trees.

For information, contact Debra Dommen, Beringer vice president, at 259-4673 or debra.dommen@treasurywineestates.com.

Also during Tuesdays meeting, City Arborist Jim Haller will give an update on elm tunnel maintenance.
