Utility and Municipal Communications Relating to the Urban Forest    (View PDF)

John D. Morell

Abstract: Municipal and utility companies working together can protect and enhance urban trees. Augering, instead of trenching, through the root zone area of trees using the Parkway Tree Augering Specification developed by the Municipal Foresters in Northeast Illinois and using various trimming techniques other than "topping", for clearance of electrical transmission lines, should be used to protect the urban tree population.
