The city of Sterling is once again offering a dead tree removal program. The program provides financial assistance to residential property owners for the removal of dead or dying elm trees from private property. Qualifying applicants will be reimbursed by the city of Sterling for one-half the cost of each tree removed, up to $250 per tree. Property owners will not be reimbursed for sales tax or any "secondary" work, such as removal and replacement of fences or repair of lawns or other incidental expenses.

Property owners must qualify on income level and they must reside at the address for which assistance is being requested. Commercial properties or rental units are not eligible.

To qualify for the program, homeowners must make a written application to the city of Sterling Department of Parks, Library and Recreation before the tree is removed. All trees will be inspected by the city and approval will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Financial assistance is not available for tree trimming or for the removal of healthy trees or stump removal. The program is designed to assist homeowners with the removal of trees that pose a threat of Dutch elm disease to the urban forest or a hazard to the public.

To receive an application and full details about the program, contact the city PLR department at (970) 522-9700, or 421 N. Fourth St., Sterling.

Dead tree removal assistance available

Tree stumps stand at the Old Redwood Highway interchange, the trees having been removed for Caltrans construction.

Recent tree removal in Petaluma to make way for Caltrans interchange projects related to the future Highway 101 widening has left some community members concerned about both the number of trees being cut down by the agency and the current lack of funding to replace the trees.

To date, no one has been able to tell us how many trees they've removed, said Tree Advisory Committee member and local landscape architect Tammara Norman. They also can't tell us what sort of tree replacement will occur because they do not have any financing lined up. We're talking about 25-year-old trees they took down, that they won't be able to replace for at least three years. How is that mitigating?

When the environmental impact report was performed on the Highway 101 widening project back in 2007, it was estimated that Caltrans would need to remove approximately 700-900 trees in the Petaluma area, to address both safety and right-of-way concerns. The EIR called for every tree whose removal left a major visual impact, to be replaced by a newly planted tree. Trees that were cut down but did not create a visual impact are not required to be replaced. The tree removal currently taking in place in Petaluma is in preparation for work on Highway 101 interchanges throughout town. The interchanges are being upgraded in anticipation of the eventual Highway 101 widening through Petaluma, though there is currently no funding for the widening itself.

According to the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, which coordinates projects in the county for Caltrans, workers are only removing trees that are absolutely necessary to complete the projects safely. To monitor their progress, an onsite biologist has been present at every tree cutting to keep track of the number of trees taken down and to make recommendations.

We don't have the final count yet, but we should within a month, said SCTA Projects and Programming Director James Cameron. The project is designed to save as many trees as possible and wherever we find opportunities to save the trees, we do that.

But not everyone is convinced Caltrans is exercising caution when removing the trees. Councilmember Teresa Barrett said that while no one has officially been counting the tree stumps in town, it appears that a large number of trees have already been removed, with more trees still needing to be cut. Barrett worried that Caltrans would exceed the allotted 900 trees by the time it finished. She also expressed concern that Caltrans does not yet have funding to replace the trees.

If Caltrans doesn't have the money, they aren't supposed to go forward with the project, said Barrett. You're only allowed to carry out this project because you can mitigate. Justice delayed is justice not provided.

According to Cameron, more trees could be cut than originally predicted if crews determine that additional trees must be removed for safety reasons. He said that he does not believe that has been the case to date.

Cameron added that Caltrans will begin replanting trees as soon as the Highway 101 widening project is completed sometime in 2016. He said that while they don't have the funds to replace the cut trees at this time, there are plenty of grant programs that will help them when they are ready to begin the landscaping portion of the project.

Taking out the hemlocks in front of the house. These trees were full grown when we bought the place over 40 years ago, and I have mixed emotions about taking them out. The risk to property and life is too great now to keep them. They will be missed.
