News This Week

• Important Tree Information:  The deadline to enroll in the Government Tree Program or the Private Tree program is Friday, January 17th.  Property owners must enroll in one or the other to remove hazard trees from their property that could fall in a public right of way.  For more information on the program and eligibility, click here.  

• The Government Hazard Tree Removal Program has not started yet, however,  there are tree removal operations happening in Town.  PG&E, as well as private contractors, are currently removing trees.  PG&E Tree Removal subcontractors will have white temporary PG&E badges for identification and will mark trees 10 days prior to removal.  They will also leave a white tag with a phone number to call as well as the information for the arborist who identified the tree(s) for removal.  For more information, contact PG&E at rebuild@pge.com.

• The Paradise Town Council and the Butte County Board of Supervisors passed ordinances requiring the removal of hazard trees damaged by the Camp Fire from private property that may fall into public roadways. Property owners may enter the Government Tree Program to have the trees removed by the State at no out-of-pocket cost. Enrollment in the Government Tree Program requires a Right-of Entry form. Property owners may also identify and remove hazard trees themselves but must submit an inspection form so an inspector may verify the removal of the hazard trees from the property. Property owners may also call the Tree ROE Center directly at (530) 552-3030 or submit Tree ROEs by email at TreeROE@buttecounty.net. The Tree ROE is available for download online at www.ButteCountyRecovers.org/treeremoval. ROE forms may also be picked up at the Tree ROE Centers when they open.
