The Dalles, Oregon – The City of The Dalles announces that Davey Tree Experts, the contractor
for the downtown tree project, will be replanting trees to replace those that have not survived
October 16th through October 18th. Under the terms of the contract, Davey Tree Experts will
plant and care for these new trees for a minimum of three years from planting at no additional
cost to the City.
Recently, a certified arborist from Davey Tree Experts conducted a walk-around with the City
Manager, Matthew Klebes and Community Development Director, Joshua Chandler, to discuss
tree health on-site and to outline plans for a more successful planting this fall. Additionally, the
arborist attended a Beautification and Tree Committee meeting to answer questions and address
concerns. The focus was on ensuring that lessons learned from the initial planting would be
applied to adjust care practices and promote the health of the new trees.
Joshua Chandler commented, “Davey Tree Experts have demonstrated a strong commitment to
addressing our concerns and adapting their approach based on the feedback received. Their
involvement is crucial to the success of our downtown tree project.”
A representative from Davey Tree Experts added, “We are dedicated to learning from our
experiences and ensuring that the trees we plant will thrive. Our goal is to contribute to a vibrant
and sustainable urban environment for The Dalles.”
