<br />A WORD FROM YOUR
<br />TREE INSPECTOR
<br />By Bruce Bacon
<br />
<br />Dear Citizens:
<br />
<br />As you remember, this summer's drought severely im-
<br />pacted Ramsey's urban forest, especially the pine planta-
<br />tions. The dead pines need to be removed this winter so
<br />they do not serve as a host tree for the ips bark beetle popula-
<br />tion, which will move to adjoining healthy trees. Thinning
<br />pine stands is recommended.
<br />Please remember, this winter is a good time to accomplish
<br />maintenance and aesthetic (shaping) pruning. There is an
<br />excellent reprint on the literature counter at Ramsey City Hall
<br />on correct pruning practices and tree physiology and wound
<br />healing. Pick one up next time you are there.
<br />Brush can be transported to the Anoka County tree disposal
<br />site and yard waste composting site on Hanson Blvd. Limbs
<br />larger than 4" to 6" in diameter should be recycled as
<br />firewood or campfire fuel, used or given away.
<br />The Landfill Commission and Urban Forestry sponsorship
<br />of a mobile chipping project has completed 3'/2 days of chip-
<br />ping, serving 28 residents thus far. The program intends to
<br />abate the woody brush faction to the waste stream by con-
<br />verting it to usable chips on the site of generation. Chipping
<br />also takes care of bark beetles and fungus diseases. Chips
<br />can be recycled as mulch for trees, or landscaping. The im-
<br />portance of decreasing open burning for air quality reasons
<br />and fire safety reasons is also accomplished.

<br />RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE
<br />
<br />There, you just said it three times and it was easy. You
<br />know what is even easier than saying RECYCLE three times?
<br />Actually participating in recycling. Your part is simple, all
<br />you have to do is collect cans, bottles and newspapers. Hey,
<br />just have a couple of brown paper sacks near your normal
<br />garbage, and whenever there are recyclables generated in
<br />your household, toss them into one of the sacks--it's so sim-
<br />ple. Once the sacks are full, take them to one of Ramsey's
<br />seven reCYCling centers.
<br />Come on, play your part in Keeping Ramsey Beautiful.
<br />Remember, it is so easy. If you want to talk recycling, just
<br />give the Ramsey Recycling Hotline a.call at 427-1410. VVe
<br />will be happy to listen and give answers. RECYCLE, RECY-
<br />CLE, RECYCLE, there you did it again--it is so easy!
