Woodbury launches rebate program to replace lost trees
The Woodbury City Council approved a new tree rebate program designed to help residents replant trees lost to disease and removal. The initiative aims to restore the city's declining tree canopy, particularly trees killed by the emerald ash borer.
Woodbury has launched a rebate program offering residents up to $199 per tree to replace dead or diseased trees on their properties. The program directly addresses tree canopy loss caused by the emerald ash borer disease and other tree removals that have affected the community.
Under the program, residents can receive a rebate for up to three trees per property each year. To qualify, applicants must apply online, provide proof that their tree was removed, and submit a receipt showing they purchased a replacement tree. "The purpose of the program is to help combat Woodbury's tree canopy loss caused by the emerald ash borer disease by replacing trees, ash, or any other species that have been removed in the past," a city official explained during the meeting.
The rebate amount covers up to $199 before taxes per tree. "Accepted applicants will be able to purchase a tree for every tree removed, and send in the receipt of purchase for a rebate up to $199 before taxes per tree," officials noted. This means residents who plant multiple trees can receive multiple rebates, up to the three-tree annual limit.
Residents interested in the program can find more information and submit applications at woodbury.gov/TreeRebate. The online application process allows the city to verify eligibility and process rebates efficiently. The program represents the city's commitment to environmental restoration and maintaining Woodbury's green spaces for future generations.
