Tree Trimming in Right of Way


Many tree trimming/removal activities within the Township Right of Way are completed from November 1 through March 31. 
​
These are the recommended trimming dates established by Sherburne County to prevent the spread of Oak Wilt. 
  • In the event there is an immediate safety risk to the public, trimming/tree removal may occur outside these dates with no notification.
  • Property owners adjacent to the proposed trimming areas will be notified of the proposed trimming schedule.  If landowner has any concerns and/or would like to discuss the trimming activities with the Township prior to the scheduled trimming event please contact the Township office.
  • Tree branches and/or limbs that overhang the road surface will be removed; all other branches that overhang the Township Right of Way will be trimmed as warranted to protect the safety of the Township residents.  Overhanging branches may be trimmed back to the main branch/trunk to prevent future tree damage.
  • Trees growing within the Township Right of Way will be removed.
  • All trimmings and material will be removed from the trimming area unless other arrangements have been made.
​

Normal policy is to notify property owners prior to tree removal/brushing approximately 2 weeks before work is to be completed when an entire area or development will have activity.  This notice may be in person or by mail.
