Background Information:
This fund was established to provide for replacement trees, destroyed through the
development process. The purpose is to "reforest" the community, not necessarily replant in
the same location. Developers who must cut a mature tree(s) and cannot replace the tree(s) on
the site must contribute to this fund. In addition, interested parties also make contributions to
purchase trees. This budget allows available funds to be expended for the planting of trees in
the parks and other city property.
