Tree Survey underway
Wondering what those blue tags and markers are
that are appearing on trees throughout Valley Lakes?
The Association is in the process of
conducting a tree survey. This process includes
indentifying the species, condition, location and unique
characteristics of every tree on Association property.
This process includes marking the tree with a
semi-permanent tag. These tags will not harm the tree
and they will play a critical role in helping to
properly manage the thousands of trees on Association
property.
The information from this survey will be used to develop
a tree management plan that will address (among other
items) our exposure to Emerald Ash Borer outbreaks,
trees that should be replaced, trees that need pruning
or other maintenance and the types of trees we should be
planting as replacements are needed. Without this
information the Association will not have the ability to
properly plan for the preservation of trees throughout
the community.
Trees on private property are NOT being
included in this survey. Only trees on Association
Common property or adjacent parkway trees are being
included.
The bright appearance of these tags will
fade over time making them less noticeable. Additionaly
when possible the tags are being located in the least
visible location on the tree. In most instances the tags
are placed on the north side of the tree for easy and
consistent identification. For more information on this
program, please contact us at
