EXECUTIVE SUMMRY
The City of College Station has identified a need for proactive urban forest management
practices. Public officials seek to promote the health,safety and general welfare for the
Community as a whole. Conservation and enhancement of the natural beauty of College
Station's public trees will serve to advance these goals. The following general objectives can be
derived from improved preservation,reforestation,maintenance,and removal of hazard trees
within the city:
1) Preserve existing tree canopy.
2) Create a healthful environment for College Station residents,businesses and industries.
3) Moderate the h, I fill effects of sun,wind and temperature changes.
4) Buffer noise,air and visual pollution.
5) Filter pollutants from the air and assist in the generation of oxygen.
6) Reduce storm water runoff and the potential damage it may create.
7) Stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
8) Provide habitat for birds and other wildlife.
9) Preserve riparian banks or beds and prevent sedimentation.
10) Screen incompatible land uses and promote energy conservation
11) Protect and enhance property values.
12) * e public awareness of the benefits of planting and maintaining trees in an urban
environment.
13) Increase the public's knowledge of proper tree care including measures to reduce
potential fire hazard with the establishment of defensible space aro d buildings and
other structures.
• IS
The City of College Station has set forth that trees and the urban forest within their Community are
important. The urban forestry goals of the City of College Station are to:
Identify,preserve,and replenish trees which are located on public property including
City right-of-way(ROW),paxks,and municipal facilities;
Institute a tree management plan
Educate the Community regarding the urban forest as a natural resource as well as
the cost of maintaining that resource;
Encourage citizens to advance an appreciation for trees on both public and private
space.
7.74 Promote and maintain a safe environment for the Community's residents.
- •n Ite •-ot Term
These short-term action items should be initiated in the order of priority indicated below(if
possible).It should be noted that some items may overlap (occur simultaneously),be ongoing
d\or even completed before a 14 er priority.
1. Establish a budget for annual urban forestry management operations.
2. Inventory trees and available planting spaces within the City Right-of-Way and
ny,• tamed parks or facilities.
3. Remove hazard trees,limbs and deadwood on public right-of-ways and public property.
(consider outside contract crew)
4. Trim or remove trees that create hazardous conditions.Improve visibility of traffic
signals,streetli: 8,pedestrians,and vehicular traffic. Generally address site triangle
issues.
5. Establish a routine systematic ° ing cycle for all trees along the rights-of-way,within
parks,and on publicly owned or maint ed facilities. It is recommended that the city
implement a 3 to 7 year p ling cycle (3 years for training pruning of young trees and 7
years for routine pruning of mature trees).
6. Develop,adopt and plement a reasonable care policy for hazard trees and general risk
reduction.
7. Monitor trees on an annual basis for structural,disease,or cultural problems.
. 8. Inform the public of all ongoing urban forestry activities.
9. Seek and welcome public input.
10. Provide training for all city personnel involved in issues that impact tree health and safety.

identification can help reduce the risk of damage,injury and/or death from falling limbs or trees.
Annual monitoring should specifically identify the following tree hazards:
Living Hazards—Those trees that have been injured through natural or manmade agents or have
reached their mature status and have started a downward spiral of decline. These situations warrant
the use of expert inspections and identification of the hazards to determine the trees that pose a
threat to persons or property and are in need of removal or mitigative measures.
Dead Tree identification and removal—A policy is needed to promptly locate and remove the trees
that pose a threat to persons or property. The identification and removal policy should have criteria
for the urs-ncy,method of removal and the disposal of the resulting material.
Deadwood Hazard—The identification and removal of such,is an integral portion of the urban
forest management procedures. Deadwood serves as an entryway for insects and disease as well as
posing a threat to the recreational users throughout the treed portions of College Station. A policy
that addresses this issue will also reduce the incidence of liability due to injury,d age,and even
death.
Tr Tht Cr _ rdous Condibbns
Public safety in the public right-of-way includes management of
trees that by their natural growth habit may obstruct the view of
traffic flow,traffic signals and control devices,signs and other
important elements such as children at play. Overhead clearance ;;; i-:
of streets and sidewalks for vehicular and pedestrian access,if not
properly maintained,can create hazardous conditions.An effective street tree m tenance progr,
would target these problems through a scheduled pruning cycle.A process of identification and
elimination(Please also see section below entitled Risk Reduction Through Identtrication&Care)of City
street[and public area]tree har ,should include the following
• Identify trees with existing and potentially hazardous conditions during the street tree inventory
process (and/or daily inspections).
• Prioritize hazard conditions for response time (e.g.Emergency,ASAP,Scheduled,etc.)
• The highest priorities need to be identified (by fla g,signs,barricades,etc.) to notify and
inform the public and limit access,until the hazardous condition can be eliminated.
• Low priority hazardous conditions shall be maintained only after the highest priorities have been
addressed and/or eliminated.
'A Trees that have a potential to create hazardous conditions shall be maintained through a
predetermined schedule (maintenance cycle).

Risk Rai s n Through Ide n&Care
College Station's Forestry Division of Parks and Recreation is charged with responsibility to remove
dead and hazardous trees. Once hazard trees have been identified,there must be appropriate action
taken to warn the general public or make the dangerous area safe,thus greatly reducing any issues of
negligence or liability due to public injury. Forestry Division staff must also plant trees and conduct
pruning as part of their tree related assi ents. The Forestry Superintendent and staff must
manage a large number of trees. That management effort must be formed from a standpoint of the
overall health of the urban forest,not simply one tree. The risk management pro establishes a
strategy for monitoring trees or tree species,etc.,that pose an anticipated risk to life or property. It
should be further stated that risk reduction through hazard tree identification must naturally include
corresponding procedures to remediate any clear and present danger.These procedures must go
beyond tree pruning and/or removal,and should he eventually built into (at minurn)dep ental
protocol,but ultimately into city ordinance.The City can eventually rest assured as "doing its job"if a
full spectrum of prudent actions have been implemented.Noteworthy topics surrounding this issue
include: 1)restricting access to any area(park or otherwi
Evalu'Ite budgetary resources available to conduct assessments and removals
A cursory inspection was conducted during the sample inventory phase of document development.
This inspection was not intended to determine definitive information regarding thelocation of
potential hazards. A specific tree inventory collected in GIS format would be required to precisely
establish the location and true number of trees that fall into the hazard category. All procedures for
hazard identification and'assessment should be conducted according to International Society of
Arboriculture standards with a qualified member of the Society as the assessor.
Case law has established that the City may be held liable if there is knowledge of a"traffic condition"
(such as the obstruction of a driver's mew to an important road sign tree&why)
and also failure to correct such a condition.It is thus prudent policy ,
to eventually develop a detailed program for not only .;--
identifyingjfernoving/transplanting trees that obstruct road signs,
but also reducing the City's future exposure to claims through
diligent planning in the initial placement of trees within high
access/public use areas.
Following are methods of risk reduction pertaining to hazard trees:

C4 Remove the target.—In some cases it may be wise to
move picnic tables,cars,landscape features,etc.to
prevent them from being hit by a falling tree.. IN also
important to prevent access by any potential target(e.g.
people or vehicles).
Prune the tree—Remove the defective branches of the
tree.Since inappropriate p ing may also weaken a tree,it should be done by
Certified Arborist.
p Fable and Brace the tree.—Provide physical support for Irai(
branches and stems to increase their strength and stability.

Street trees, unlike natural forest-grown trees are not self-maintaining and may be transplanted or
growing in an alien environment that requiresintensive management. Street trees generally grow in
poor soils, compete with sod for nutrients andwater,are subject to pollutants,must develop roots
under impervious surface covers, be resistant to pest problems and must withstand physical abuse
from vehicles, lawn mowers, weed eaters, and people. Street trees must not only endure a tough
existence,but are also expected to add to the aesthetics and value of the community. Some of these
factors can be p, *, y ameliorated through breedingand species selection, with the balance
corrected by proper cultural practices.These practices include pruning,fertilization,protection,cable
and bracing,and wound treatment.

Cro Reduction—This technique is also known as drop crotch pruning To accomplish
this,prune the branch hack to its point of attachment or to a lateral that is at least one-third
the diameter of the cut being madeling cuts will maintain the structural integrity and
natural form of a tree. This will delay the time when it will be necessary to prune again. It is
also used to decrease the height and spread of a tree.
Crown Restoration-Selection of one to three main branch stubs that will grow to
reform a more natural looking crown. Thinning or heading may be necessary to match
the weight of the new branches with the strength of their attachment. Several prunings
over a number of years may be necessary. This improves the structure and appearance
of trees that have been topped or severely pruned using heading cuts.
Ci Cro. Raising—Provides clearance for buildings,vehicles,pedestrians,and vistas by
removing lower branches. At lease one half of the tree's foliage must be maintained on
the branches that originate on the lower two thirds of the crown. This will ensure a
well-formed,tapered structure and uniformly distributed weight.
Ci Training Pruning—To establish strong trees,it is important that they are pruned early
in their development to encourage good growth,balanced crowns,and reduce
conditions that could lead to problems later.
Street trees receive two general types of pruning training and maintenance. Tr.° ing is done
primarily on young trees to develop a branching habit that ensures standard strength and low
tenance once the tree is mature. Maintenance pruning is done on mature trees to remove
hazards and improve vigor and aesthetics. Pruning cuts on street trees include lifting,scaffold,
° ing,hazard,deadwood,size reduction,and pest management.

Munkipal Pruning
Many municipal pruning operations are scheduled by demand and immediate needs. A more
proactive or controlled method of maintenance that is helping municipal pruning operations become
more productive is called pro. -lined maintenance. Pro limed maintenance is the servicing of
all trees in a given area of the community on a rotational basis. This servicing would include ny, ° g
all necessary pruning cuts on each tree in an area and other maintenance activities. Using this system
of maintenance will greatly reduce the calls for service requests,hazard maintenance and other
primary tasks. Programmed maintenance will increase productivity due primarily to reduced
transportation costs and more effective task scheduling.
Pruning ,•,
To maintain a safe,healthy and viable urban forest,the City should consider establishing a
maintenance program to prune'all the street trees in the city over a specified number of years. The
length of the rotational pruning cycle will depend primarily on the number of trees in the city right-
of-ways and the funds available for maintenance. The optimum pruning cycle,on the other hand,
will vary based on the conditions,species,age and regional climate characteristics of the area.
The condition,species mix,and age of the tree populations will influence the pruning cycle for that
population. A tree with a high condition rating would be a tree with a well-developed crown,good
branch management and small pruning wounds. Frequent pruning,especially when the tree is
young,will allow a tree to develop a higher condition rating and thereby require less co i•ctive
pruning at maturity. This equates to a high return on investment by reducing costs of maintenance
in the future. Tree species influence the frequency of pruning,due to a great variation in gro rate,
branch arrangement,wood strength and rates of decay among species. The age of a tree also relates
to the frequency of pruning. Generally,young trees need more frequent pruning because of rapid
growth,the need for training,and low branches in the right-of-way. Trees growing in a warm climate
with abundant moisture will grow faster and need more frequent pruning.
Pruning operations in College Station must be cost effective and practical. So therefore,a balance
between optimal and practical pruning cycles must be considered. In order to accomplish these
goals,standard pruning cycles of 3 years for young trees (less than 6"diameter)and 7 years for
mature trees (6"diameter and greater)would be recommended. These two pruning cycles would run
concurrently.Pruning for trees growing in parks and other public areas maintained by the city should
also be on the same pruning cycle if they are growing in close proximity to picnic areas,playgrounds,
trails,facilities,buildings,roadways or other areas frequented by people. While these are the normally
City of College Station 37
Urban Forest Management Plan
•
accepted pruning cycles,
some high use areas may require annual or bi-annual inspections and/or
deadwood pruning due in part to drought conditions,storm damage and development impacts. This
assessment however,is only considering the street trees of College Station.

This first step of eliminating the unsafe conditions existing along the streets of the City should be
ideally accomplished before start up of maintenance,or at a minimum,concurrent to scheduled
maintenance cycles. It will;however,require an inventory of the street trees in order to locate the
hazard priorities.The cost of a complete street tree inventory(depending on the number of
attributes/tree and location) of the estimated 15,000+ trees with the GIS database is briefly outlined
in Table D.
Tree Inventory Costs
Number of Trees Maximum Estimated Cost Cost/Tree
Circa 15,000 $40,000 $2.66
Table D—Estimated Costs for Complete Tree Inventory
Upon completion,the City has a choice to contract the priority maintenance or to utilize the current
Forestry Crew. Since the number of priority maintenance trees is relatively small(254),it is es ated
that a tree care contractor could do the work in 3 to 4 months. Otherwise,the current Forestry crew
would take over one year(estimated at 2 trees/day over 127 working days) base on currently
'allocated forestry operations work days,i.e.47%dedication (117 working days/year).
Priority maintenance by a proposed contractor however,is outlined in Table EPn. .

According to Forestry salaries and reported overhead m tenance costs,the current 3-man Forestry

approximately$53,000 (127 working days). Additional costs to the City may be expected as the
debris from the larger removals will require assistance in clean up.
Following the contracting or in-house completion of the priority pruning operation,it will be time
for the City to begin the programmed maintenance pruning cycles previously mentioned for the
remaining estimated 15,431 street trees.

This indicates a mostly young urban forest along the City right-of-ways,which will require the shorter
3-year training paining cycle to help these young trees develop a branching habit that will ensure
structural strength and low maintenance once the tree is mature.
The remaining population(approximately 20°/0)are mature street trees 6"in diameter and larger,all
qualifying for the 7 year maintenance pruning cycle.
The City's 3-man Forestry Crew,who now only work 47%of their time on forestry related
operations,would have responsibility for accomplishing the programmed maintenance p °
schedule. At such a low level of actual time spent performing tree related duties,the programmed
maintenance pruning schedule could not be maintained without additional resources co itted by
the City.
The current forestry operations workload and projected required pruning schedule were evaluated to
determine the daily concurrent maintenance work necessary to comply with a seven and three year
programmed maintenance schedule. Tables F and G outline the 3 (young tree) and 7 (mature tree)

The Forestry Crew would be required to m t a total of 39 trees concurrently per working day.
This number of trees on this U ited daily basis is not a feasible accomplis* ent for a 3-man Forestry
crew. Assuming the crew could increase efforts to a max° urn of 250 days (100%commitment),the
daily requirement of 18 trees would still exceed the potential for the 3-man crew.It would be
practical to consider however,that two 3-man crews could nu; t- a schedule of 9 trees per day.
For the Forestry Division to accomplish the task of maintaining a progr ied mi* tenance p ing

would be required:
Two 3-man crew equipped with chipper trucks (one with attached aerial bucket),chipper,pole

Communities often contract their pruning and other progr ed maintenance activities because of
the equipment costs associated with these activities. A pm °ig cycle is used with the appropriate
areas of the parks or facilities,and is advertised for bids each year. It is essential to have a good
contract that describes what is expected of each party,sets the work standards and allows for on-site
inspections. Standard proposals,statements of work, [or contracts for in.° tenance services offered
by contractors]should include subject matter addressing the following an outline of work to be
performed,the time and resources needed to perfo the work,customer(City) responsibilities in
the agreement,costs,and payment terms.
Contract pruning and maintenance is a common and effective method of m," taming trees,
particularly in Smaller communities where equipment costs cannot be justified by annual usage
amounts.

College Station's park system is extensive with approximately 1,300 acres under ownership or under
the responsibility of the Parks and Recreation Department. , parks of the system were
inspected during the spring of 2002 under fairly dry conditions. The purpose of the inspections was
to determine what general conditions and species existed in the urban forest,including both managed
and unmanaged populations. The inspections were generally cursory in nature, dependent on the
size of the park.
An extensive Master Plan for P', has previously been developed and,therefore,no comments will
be addressed pertaining to hardscapes,recreation facilities,etc. The most common method of
acquiring data for the survey was to walk through or around each park,stopping at several locations
to observe and record information on clusters of trees. In some cases,clusters appeared to be
naturally formed;in other instances,clusters were , °ficially delineated within a large group by the
observing forester. In the case of Luther Jones Park,all trees were inventoried.

4:f) Forested areas with understory retained
Upland areas
Lowland sites
Landscaped sections
Due to time and budget limitations,the large parks such as Wolf Pen Creek Park,Central Park,and
Lick Creek Park were given insufficient attention to make representative inventories;but the smaller
parks' inventories are much more valid in which to draw conclusions. The inventoried data
represents only a glimpse of the park canopy cover; however, no representation is made as to
quantitatively representing true stem numbers. The data do give a flavor of what is in each park.
Most of the parks in College Station,Texas,are pleasantly inviting because of good maintenance. On
the whole, lawns are neatly mowed and edged, trash and graffiti hardly exist, and most trees are
reasonably vigorous. Especially commendable is the lack of basal wounds on tree t is (particularly
younger planted trees);persons who mow and use string trimmers seem to be very careful.

Lifting cuts remove lower branches that obstruct traffic in accordance with right-of-way clearance
stand, I ,and are made primarily du 4° g the training period. Scaffold cuts are ° ing cuts made to
develop a structurally sound crown through the retention of branches well along the main leader.
Thinning cuts are made in training and maintenance pruning to reduce the number of branches in
the crown,allowing remaining branches to become more vigorous.
Hazard pruning removes those portions of the crown that prevent a public hazard,such as
impending stmctural failure. Deadwood cuts remove partially or completely dead portions of the
crown for safety and to aid in wound closure. Deadwood is done mostly on more mature trees,but
dead or dying branches should also be removed in the training period. Cro reduction may be
justified in some cases where there has been a change in site characteristics or as a result of poor
species selection. Avoid topping or dehorning a tree,as this technique disfigures the tree and usually
results in permanent structural damage,leading to higher costs of maintenance or future removal.
Damage to branches that create hazards,attracts pests,or hasten decline should be pruned to remove
the damaged portion. Pest problems may be controlled through removal of infected portions of the
crown and by maintaining a healthy crown,in part by utilizing some of the various pruning
techniques described above.
Trees that interfere with energized utility lines must be pruned within a specified distance of those
lines. However,forestry crews or contractors should not prune near energized lines for reasons of
safety and liability. Line clearance and vegetation management in a utility easement is the
responsibility of utility arborists and foresters who are specially trained in pruning around power
lines. Prudent and safe operation around utility lines is an essential component for municipal
workers.
City of College Station 47
Urban Forest Management Plan
Parks and F "1- Pruning
Many parks and facilities pruning operations are scheduled by demand and immediate needs. A
more proactive or controlled method of maintenance that assists municipal pruning operations
become more productive is called programmed maintenance. Programmed maintenance is the
servicing of trees in a given area of a park or facility on a rotational basis. This servicing would
include making all necessary pruning cuts on each tree in an actively maintained area and other
maintenance activities. Using this system of maintenance will greatly reduce the calls for service
requests, hazard maintenance and other primary tasks. Programmed maintenance will increase
productivity due primarily to reduced transportation costs and more effective task scheduling.
Pruning uIing
To maintain a safe,healthy and viable urban forest,the City should consider establishing a
maintenance program to prune all park and facilities designed trees over a specified number of years.
The length of the rotational pruning cycle will depend p s arily on the number of designated park
and facilities trees and the funds available for maintenance. The optimum pruning cycle,on the
other hand,will vary based on the conditions,species,age and regional climate characteristics of the
area.
The condition,species mix,'and age of the tree populations will influence the paining cycle for that
population. A tree with a high condition rating would be a tree with a well-developed crown,good
branch management and small pruning wounds. Frequent pruning,especially when the tree is
young,will allow a tree to develop a higher condition rating and thereby require less corrective
pruning at maturity. This equates to a high return on investment by reducing costs of maintenance
in the future. Tree species influence the frequency of pruning,due to a great variation in growth rate,
branch arrangement,wood strength and rates of decay among species. The age of a tree also relates
to the frequency of pruning. Generally,young trees need more frequent pruning because of rapid
growth,the need for training,and low branches in the right-of-way. Trees growing in a warm cl ate
with abundant moisture will grow faster and need more frequent pruning.
Pruning operations in College Station must be cost effective and practical. So therefore,a balance
between optimal and practical pruning cycles must be considered. In order to accomplish these
goals,standard pruning cycles of 3 years for young trees (less than 6"diameter)and 7 years for
mature trees (6"diameter and greater)would be recommended. These two pruning cycles would run
concurrently and basically mirror recommendations for street tree pruning.
City of College Station 48

Pruning B ii • t: and Equip - nt
For purposes of general tree conditions and species diversity study,approximately 30 parks and
numerous municipal facilities were inspected. Some hazardous tree conditions were noted,
predictably more in parks than public facility property.
The first step is eliminating the unsafe conditions existing in the public parks and municipal facilities.
This should be accomplished before start up of pruning operations. At minimum,these operations
should be concurrent to scheduled maintenance cycles. It will require an inventory of the high use or
maintained park and facilities areas in order to locate the hazard priorities. This type of inventory
(depending on the number of attributes/tree)will include a location survey of an estimated 3,000-
5,000 trees.The GIS database provided by the City has an associated cost es ° ated to be a
maximum of$20,000.
Upon completion of the first step,the City has a choice to contract the priority maintenance or to
utilize existing resources. In order to start the scheduled maintenance program and resolve the
priority maintenance issues,it is recommended that the existing forestry crew be designated only for
tree care work in public parks,municipal facilities and greenways. This crew could be assigned to do
the priority maintenance and initiate the programmed maintenance schedule. In order for the
Forestry Division to accomplish these tasks for the city parks and municipal facilities,it is es ° ated
that the following minimum resources would have to be committed to this program for the new
fiscal year:
4.) Utilize the existing 3-man crew equipped with chipper truck,chipper,pole saws,power
saws,and necessary climbing gear.
Note:Cosi figures on this page are estimated.Actual costs may be higher or lower depending on various
conditions surrounding the work being done within this project. Budgetary figures or guidelines associated with
the program will need to be reviewed and possibY amended as a result.

College Station developed a Greenways Master Plan in February 1999. The purpose was to guide the
implementation of greenways development according to portions of the City's 1997 Comprehensive
Plan. A Network of Greenweys fbr College Station was the resulting document
A brief comment should be made regarding greenways and their importance in urban environments.
A greenway is a corridor that follows natural features such as floodplains,utility corridors (human
made),roads or railway beds. While providing floodpi ° control and proving water quality,
greenways also provide an excellent means of connecting people and places within the community.
These green corridors offer alternative methods of transportation including w- g,biking,skating,
and jogging in an aesthetically pleasing
environment. Through greenways

enhanced and protected. There are °
conclusive economic benefits to greenway
corridors with studies showing increased
real estate values on adjacent properties.
Greenways are not new to the planning _
agenda of the City. Previous efforts have 'Pm
been directed at Wolf Pen Creek as a
potential development area. This,along with other greenway locations,can become an a ction for
the Community as well as a functional part of the green infrastructure. Currently,the City's
Greenways Coordinator is a part of the Public Works Depa i ent. This dep ent in conj ction
with other interested groups and appointed committees (i.e.,Greenways Jmpl entation Task
Force),have the opportunity to create improved natural areas within any future development plans.
Treed areas should both be preserved and created through specific reforestation or aforestation
plans. Tree planting initiatives and tree preservation plans should be developed for new projects as
they become imminent.

The College Station plan for greenways addresses numerous opportunities for establishment and
identifies maintenance requirements. Little information is offered; however, regarding the
establishment and routing among established trees. In the process of providing access and

considering the encroachment of these natural areas, tree maintenance becomes an issue for public
safety. Liability issues from f g trees and limbs must be addressed. Security of trail users may also
require some removal of trees and vegetation.
Tree maintenance issues associated with Greenway public access would include the following
• Establish a regular inspection program of all public access points located within or adjacent
to the edge of greenways' natural wooded areas for potential hazard to public from falling
trees or limbs.
Q Inspect for potential predator (human) hiding places adjacent to trails and access areas that
may require vegetation and tree removal for better security.
f,j Protect trees from access impact by preventing development directly in canopy of trees or
install non-impact trails such as mulch on geotechnical fiber base on grade.
0 Maintain the existing drainage regimes of mature wooded areas intersected with trail access.
Q Prevent as far as possible,pollutants from entering into the greenway drainage system. This
should also be a regular inspection item.
Protect heavy use natural access areas from public impact by periodically "resting"
(preventing access) so that the area can recover from the * pact and have a change to
naturally heal itself.

Arborist should conduct proper techniques, preferably one certified by the International Society of
Arboriculture.
All pruning operations and standard operating guidelines should be in accordance with the most
current edition of the following industry standards: Standard Practices for Tree, Shrub and Other
Woody Plant * tenance, ANSI A300-1995;Safety S r dards,ANSI Z133.1-1994,and ISA Tree
Pruning Guidelines.
The types of pruning generally used in the tree care industry are described below:
• Cro 5 Cleaning—Removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded,weakly attached,and
low vigor branches and water-sprouts.
• Cro i Thinning—Selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air
movement through the crown. Thinning reduces the wind-sail effect of the crown and
also reduces the weight of heavy limbs. Thinning the crown can emphasize the
structural beauty of the trunk and branches and also improve the growth and health of
understory plants or turf by increase light penetration.
• Cro a Reduction — This technique is also known as drop crotch pruning. To
accomplish this,prune the branch back to its point of attachment or to a lateral that is
at least one-third the diameter of the cut being made. Thinning cuts will maintain the
structural integrity and natural form of a tree. This will delay the time when it will be
necessary to prune again. It is also used to decrease the height and spread of a tree.

Plan
Thinning cuts are made in training and maintenance pruning to reduce the number of branches in
the crown,allowing remaining branches to become more vigorous.
Hazard pruning removes those portions of the crown that prevent a public hazard,such as
impending structural failure. Deadwood cuts remove partially or completely dead portions of the
crown for safety and to aid in wound closure. Deadwood is done mostly on more mature trees,but
all dead or dying branches should also be removed in the training period. Crown reduction may be
justified in some cases where there has been a change in site characteristics or as a result of poor
species selection. Avoid topping or dehorning a tree,as this technique disfigures the tree and usually
results in permanent structural damage,leading to higher costs of maintenance or removal down the
road.
Damage to branches that create hazards,a acts pests,or hasten decline should be pruned to remove
the damaged portion. Pest problems may be controlled through removal of infected portions of the
crown and by maintaining a healthy crown,in part by utilizing some of the various pruning
techniques described above.
Trees that interfere with energized utility lines must be pruned within a specified distance of those
lines. However,forestry crews or contractors should not prune near energized lines for reasons of
safety and liability. Line clearance and vegetation management in a utility easement is the
responsibility of utility arborists and foresters who are specially trained in pruning around power
lines. Prudent and safe operation around utility lines is an essential component for municipal
workers.
G n ,,ys Pruning
Many greenways pruning operations are scheduled by demand and immediate needs. A more
proactive or controlled method of maintenance that assists municipal pruning operations become
more productive is called programmed maintenance. Programmed maintenance is the servicing of
trees in a given greenway area on a rotational basis. This servicing would include m g all
necessary pruning cuts on each tree in any given area and other maintenance activities. Using this
system of maintenance will greatly reduce the calls for service requests, hazard maintenance and
other primary tasks. Programmed maintenance will increase productivity due primarily to reduced
transportation costs and more effective task scheduling.
City of College Station 53
Urban Forest Management Plan
Pruning • -,Ipculing
To maintain a safe,healthy and viable urban forest,the City should consider establishing a
maintenance program to prune all the greenway areas over a specified number of years. The length
of the rotational pruning cycle will depend primarily on the number of designated greenway trees and
the funds available for maintenance. The optimum pruning cycle,on the other hand,will vary based
on the conditions,species,age and regional climate characteristics of the area.
The condition,species mix,and age of the tree populations will influence the pruning cycle for that
population. A tree with a high condition rating would be a tree with a well-developed crown,good
branch management and small pruning wounds. Frequent pruning,especially when the tree is
young,will allow a tree to develop a higher condition rating and thereby require less corrective
pruning at maturity. This equates to a high return on investment by reducing costs of nr, tenance
in the future. Tree species influence the frequency of pruning,due to a great variation in growth rate,
branch arrangement,wood strength and rates of decay among species. The age of a tree also relates
to the frequency of pruning. Generally,young trees need more frequent pruning because of rapid
growth,the need for training,and low branches in the right-of-way. Trees growing in a w climate
with abundant moisture will grow faster and need more frequent pruning.
Pruning operations in College Station must be cost effective and practical. So therefore,a balance
between op al and practical pruning cycles must be considered. In order to accomplish these
goals,standard pruning cycles of 3 years for young trees (less than 6"diameter) and 7 years for
mature trees (6"diameter and greater)would be recommended. These two pruning cycles would run
concurrently.
Pruning B • and Equip, nt
As many areas designated for greenways may tend to connect parks through unmanaged vegetation,
hazardous tree conditions exist naturally. A first step of eliminating the unsafe conditions existing in
greenway areas should be accomplished prior to start up of general scheduled maintenance. An
inventory of the significant greenway trees will be necessary to locate the hazard priorities. As no
population tree number is accurately known for greenways,no estimate of inventory costs can be
correctly assessed. Taking this into consideration,these costs may approximate the parks and
municipal facilities location survey cost,which was estimated at a maximum of$20,000
_
City of College Station 54
Urban Forest Management Plan
Upon completion of the first step,the City has a choice to contract the priority maintenance or to
utilize existing resources. In order to start the scheduled maintenance program and resolve the
priority maintenance issues,it is recommended,as previously recommended in Parks and Facilities
Maintenance Section,that the existing forestry crew be designated only for tree care work in public
parks,municipal facilities and greenways. This crew could be assigned to do the priority maintenance
and initiate the pro: Imed maintenance schedule. In order for the Forestry Division to
accomplish these tasks for the City parks and municipal facilities,at this time,it is suggested that the
existing 3 man forestry crew and equipment designated for parks and municipal m tenance would
be sufficient to also handle greenways maintenance.
Note:Cost figures on this and the previous page are estimated.Actual costs may be higher or lower depending on various
conditions surrounding the work being done within this project.Budgetary figures or guidelines associated with the
program may need to be amended as a result.

REC MME ATI NSCRIT/CAL URBAN
FORIFIST ISSUES IN C.LLEGE STATI •N
HiiZitdT - Ma- nt and Risk Micy
Observation
Trees in the City's park system were observed to be in good condition overall. Standing dead trees
were noted in inspections,as were trees with deadwood in the crown. The numbers cannot be
quantified from the sample inventory(compared to street trees);however,totals appear to be less
° pressive than street tree haz . There are locations in the undeveloped parks that contain
moderately declining stands of trees. However,the maintained park areas are in very good condition
considering the resources available to the Parks and Recreation Department. Extensive activity in
other areas of responsibility does not provide an abundant amount of crew hours to be devoted to
the serious issue of hazard tree assessment and removals.
Street trees,as seen from the data graphics included in this document,are generally in good condition
as well. Hazard removals or hazard prunes represent a very small percentage of the current tree
population,albeit,still considered'i important aspect of tree management. The sample inventory
suggests that more than 250 hazardous conditions exist currently along city streets. These may be
dead or dying trees or simply serious deadwood in the canopy.
Current removals or pi Mg is accomplished on a"crisis management"basis,most likely generated
from reports to the Forestry Division from citizens or,in the case of municipal dep. • ems,from
those in s *tation or u . portation positions.
Trees that obstruct the view of traffic flow,pedestrian signals,traffic control devices/signals,and the
observation of children at play,may create other hazardous conditions.Street and sidewalk overhead
clearance,if not properly maintained,can additionally create hazardous conditions.
Recommendations
JP Conduct a citywide inventory of all street trees and those public areas (park and municipal
facilities)that are actively used.
itp Contract out the removal or hazard pruning to an ou6ide contractor for speed,efficiency,
cost effectiveness,and to allow current Forestry Crew personnel to conduct other duties.
Conduct ongoing regular inspections of street trees to identify high-risk trees and trees that
create hazardous conditions.
City of College Station 108
Urban Forest Management Plan
4.7.3 Develop a proactive hazard tree risk management program with the goal of creating a
hazard tree policy statement by December 2002.
40 The hazard tree policy statement should address the issue of reasonable care.
40 Look objectively at the City's management resources. Are they adequate to address the
needs of public safety?
40 Establish the level of care that is manageable for College Station. Develop a clear policy
statement. Review the statement on an annual basis.
40 Implement a risk management strategy. From the policy statement, you should establish
what strategy is appropriate.
40 Co *cate the tree risk management program to three groups; dep ent staff,
officials,and the general public.

Observation
The City's street tree population is ° cult to completely quantify given the 1. ce of right-of-way
widths and sampling conducted. Different areas have unique problems or challenges,an example of
which is the extensive use of crepe myrtle in plantings for newer sections versus the presence of
hazardous or older trees in more established sections of College Station: Therefore,one s ple
approach to m,• tenance,diversity,planting density,etc.,cannot be applied. , y oppo ties
exist,however,to develop ° provements in the long-term street tree canopy.
Recommendations
40 Increase species diversity in street tree plantings.
Lp Avoid monoculture plantings.
40 Use proper size trees to avoid utilities and visibility issues.
40 Avoid species that have high mtenance costs or are prone to stos d age.
40 Plan a target goal of planting approx ately 125 new trees per year in City ROW.
40 Plant slow growing and long lived species,thus spreading out the cost of removals and
replanting.
Lp Initiate a progr, ed pruning cycle of three (3)years for young trees;seven(7)years for
mature trees.
40 Conduct a street tree inventory to locate all hazardous trees.
c). Remove all hazardous trees using an outside contractor.
40 Add six(6) Forestry Crew members to establish two new 3-men crews committed to
spending 100%of their work time (annually)on tree maintenance operations.A separate yet
potential option would be to contract out the maintenance of street trees.
P. Add one (1) Forestry Supervisor to manage street tree maintenance.

The City's parkland,municipal facilities and greenways are quite varied in tree numbers and areas
being maintained,as would be expected.Different sites had their own set of unique problems or
challenges.An example would be the heavily in-,* tamed landscaped areas of the municipal facilities
as opposed to the less maintained open areas and natural wooded areas of the p- and greenways.

obserwidon
Review of current operating procedures indicates that excellent cooperation exists between various
City dep ents d the Forestry Division. There is good communication with the Parks and
Recreation Dep ent and those involved in planning and construction of municipal facilities. The
Forestry staff is consulted on building design,footp * t,utility installation,species selection,etc.,
particularly observable in the new Municipal Utility Building of Krenek Tap Road.
Communication is less likely to take place early on;however,in the matter of the replacement of the
City's aging infrastructure such as streets, sewer, sidewalks, etc. Comm cation is more likely to
occur later in the field process of construction,rather in the ph g phase where early tree pact
assessment can be made in a cost effective manner. Given the extensive responsibilities and
workload of City dep ent personnel,this is understandable.
Recommenddions

Observafions
The greatest opportunities to preserve the city's tree canopy are on privately held land.This next step
in preservation efforts will take a major co itment by the City and support of the cot ity.The
Forestry staff already has a moderate amount of expertise in tree preservation(on construction sites).
They will need to be able to consult on building design,footp.° t construction,utility installation,
species selection,etc.,for the start up of a tree preservation/planning ordinance.The best
preservation experts however,work in the private sector and will be able to follow through with
preservation requirements for their clients.

Observations
Clearly,College Station is a community in which residents are highly educated,enjoy a high standard
of living,and are committed to continued• provements in the quality of life. Nationwide;however,
there are misconceptions, and at times, a total absence in the public as to the fin• cial benefits
derived from the comm ity's urban forest. A primary concern, for this shortfall in derstanding
the roll of co it ety trees is the lack of support by citizens and,in some cases,city officials for the
progr, s that must maint,* and ensure the long-tern, health of the trees that make up the urban
forest.
The citizens of College Station provide exceptional support for those items that contribute to the
quality of life,including bike trails,p greenways,and general recreational facilities. However,the
increase in the n bets of planted trees, • pact of development, and general demands currently
placed on the Forestry Division of Parks and Recreation Dep ent all point to a need for the
Community to let more about the urban forest as well as the costs of m • t *, g it as green
infrastructure. This can be most effectively accomplished through a citywide awareness,education,
and public relations * *tiative.
Recommendations
P Continue Arbor Day Program.
40 Train employees who have direct contact with residents of the community.
; Handle requests promptly.
ap Develop literature regarding pest and disease management,pruning,and planting.
40 Conduct educational pro. s for garden clubs, service or. * ations, schools, etc.
Actively solicit opportunities to communicate with the public.
40 Develop media contacts for tree related issues.
40 Initiate a Heritage or Tree Registry Program.
