TO: City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Tree Inspector, Bruce Bacon <br /> <br />SUBJ: January Report <br /> <br />DATE: January 19, 1979 <br /> <br />There were no phone calls in December or January. <br /> <br />I'm preparing a city map showing the last three years requested field visits. <br /> <br />The Ramsey Tree Inventory also should have a graphic interpretation.. <br />try to have these done by the end of February. <br /> <br />I'll <br /> <br />We are told and I believe it, that oak wilt is easier to control then <br />dutch elm disease. There are no insect vectors known for oak wilt. Even <br />though the fungus spores that cause the disease are airborne, a combination <br />of correct pruning practice (only Nov-Mar; NOT to prune in the warm months <br />Apr-Oct) and removing the adjoining trees to control the primary means of <br />spread through overlapping roots. <br /> <br />The Ramsey Tree Inventory shows that our elms are concentrated along both <br />rivers, 90% of the elms adjoin to Rum and Mississippi Rivers. <br /> <br />Old Business: I haven't heard from the lawyer who requested a copy of one <br />party's field notes. The last month's report had a carbon copy attached, <br />and his address. I would like this sent to him. <br /> <br />And a reminder: Mr. Dahlman, the forester who prepared the Ramsey Tree <br />inventory is willing to come for a question and answer discussion of the <br />impact of his inventory. Perhaps in March would be a good time, before <br />the next disease season. <br /> <br />Respectful ly, <br /> <br />Bruce F. Bacon <br /> <br /> <br />
