RECOVERY STORY
Do You Have Dead or Dying Trees on Your Property? The Paradise Tree Removal Program May Be Able to Help
The Town of Paradise is excited to announce that after many years of advocacy and planning, we are launching our Tree Removal Program. This project is funded by Hazard Mitigation Grant funds through FEMA/CalOES and will be managed by the Town’s Recovery and Economic Development Department.
- This is a voluntary program to help property owners remove dead trees on private property.
- Trees will be assessed over the late summer and early fall 2022; there is no obligation to remove trees after assessment.
- Trees will be removed (if the property owner chooses to move forward) in spring 2023.
- Cost to the property owner for removal, if any, will be known prior to enrollment for removal.

From the Desk of Town Manager, Kevin Phillips
Dear Paradise Residents,
Over the past week, several fires have been started in Paradise due to people in the community mowing their lawns after 10:00 a.m. As you may be aware, we are in the season of extreme fire danger.
During this time, CAL Fire/Paradise Fire advises NOT mowing your lawns after 10:00 a.m. during these very dry months. On hot, windy days, sparks from equipment and combustible vegetation can cause fires. If you need to use power equipment to maintain your yard, please do so in the cool morning hours.
Thank you for helping protect our Town.
Thank you,
Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
