Project Description
This winter, a Sturgeon County contractor will be removing boulevard Cherry trees infected with black knot disease in the Bristol Oaks community. This is necessary to limit the spread of the disease and protect healthy trees.
Residents will have an opportunity to select their top three preferred replacement trees from a list supplied by the County. Resident preferences will be factored in alongside supplier availability and the County’s targets to enhance boulevard tree biodiversity in the subdivision.
Please review the tree options below and complete the form or email your three preferred choices to agricultureservices@sturgeoncounty.ca. If we don’t receive a preference from your residents by January 29, 2024, we will assign a tree from the list based on our biodiversity goals for your community as well as supplier availability.
If you have any questions, please call 780-939-8349, or email agricultureservices@sturgeoncounty.ca
