[CANUFNET] Cost-Sharing Programs with Homeowners

[Alex Satel]

Hi Shelley,

The Town of Oakville had a program whereby homeowners could request to have
an ash street tree that otherwise would not meet the Town's injection
criteria (mainly trees with DBH <20 cm) treated through the "Adopt-an-Ash"
program. I think the homeowner had to cover the entire cost of that tree's
injection. However, it seems that the program is no longer in effect due to
the extent of infestation. 

More info can be found here:
http://www.oakville.ca/residents/eab-treatment.html and you may wish to
contact someone at the Town directly.

Kind regards,

Alex

Hello,
I am interested to hear about programs that cities have initiated to share
the cost with homeowners of treating municipal trees for EAB.  I would like
to know how successful they have been, what percentage of the cost that
homeowners pay, what trees are eligible and what difficulties have been
encountered.

We have recently discovered EAB in Thunder Bay and City Council wants me to
explore cost-sharing opportunities. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks.
