Woodbury to open applications July 20 for ash tree removal assistance
Summary
Starting July 20, eligible Woodbury homeowners can apply for financial assistance to remove dead, dying and diseased ash trees. Applications are open through Aug. 9 or until funds are exhausted; homeowners must wait for program approval before removing trees.
A City of Woodbury staff member announced that starting July 20 eligible Woodbury homeowners may apply for financial assistance to remove dead, dying and diseased ash trees. Applications will be accepted through Aug. 9 or until the application limit is reached and funding is exhausted, the staff member said.
The announcement described two program tracks and where homeowners can find details. The staff member directed residents to woodburymn.gov/ashremoval for information about an income-based ash tree removal assistance program and a private ash tree removal assessment program.
Officials said the program operates on a first-come, first-served basis and that applicants must wait for approval from the program before removing any tree. The staff member did not provide dollar amounts, eligibility thresholds beyond "eligible homeowners," or application limits during the announcement; those specifics are available on the program web page.
Residents seeking help or more information should visit woodburymn.gov/ashremoval. Applications will be processed in the order received until the Aug. 9 deadline or until funded slots are filled.
