Press release from the City of Shakopee:

Shakopee residents can expect to see landscape crews removing problematic ash trees across town and pruning trees in specific neighborhoods throughout March and April.

The city has contracted with Pro-Tree Outdoor Services to remove public ash trees along boulevards and in parks throughout Shakopee. The tree removals are a part of the city's Emerald Ash Borer management plan to mitigate the spread of this non-native, invasive insect.

Residents will receive a flyer at least 48 hours in advance notifying them of an ash tree removal adjacent to their property. Click here for more information about the city's EAB mitigation plan.

Along with the city-wide ash tree removal project, the city has contracted Precision Landscape and Tree to prune boulevard trees in the area north of Fourth Avenue, east of Shumway Street South and west of Marschall Road South (see map image below). This project is ongoing and will be complete by April 30. 

Residents will receive a flyer at least 48 hours in advance notifying them of tree pruning adjacent to their property.
