YOUNG TREES <br /> One aspect of tree work in Eugene's urban forest that is neglected is the <br /> systematic pruning of young trees with a diameter of ten inches and smaller. <br /> The poorly structured trees of today are tomorrows hazards. <br /> We will actively seek out and nurture these trees. This proactive approach <br /> would in the long term show a more efficient use of public funds as opposed to <br /> the reactive approach of waiting for larger problems to appear on our <br /> doorstep. <br /> SHORT TERM STRATEGY <br /> These steps have been taken immediately without added funding. These steps <br /> should increase employee involvement, reduce city liability, and increase <br /> visibility. <br /> A.
