Woodbury Launches Tree Replacement Rebate Program
The City of Woodbury announced a new rebate program to help residents replace dead or diseased trees on private property, according to the city's latest community update.
The program aims to combat tree canopy loss caused by emerald ash borer disease, which has affected trees throughout the community. Details about rebate amounts and application procedures were not specified in the announcement.
The city also reminded residents about lawn watering restrictions currently in effect. Residential properties may water lawns up to two designated days per week, but watering is prohibited between noon and 5 p.m. even on designated irrigation days. Residents can find their specific watering days by viewing the city's online map.
Property owners with irrigation systems installed before 2020 who have not previously participated in the Smart Irrigation Controller Program can purchase controllers at a discounted rate of $35. The controllers will be shipped directly to homes.
The city's annual Memorial Day ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. May 26 at the Woodbury Lion's Veterans Memorial near City Hall. Valley Creek Road closures are expected during the event, with access to City Hall available only from City Center Drive. The ceremony will proceed rain or shine.
