Planting Trees in Decorah

For advice about tree planting or care, call Tree Board member Roger Timp, 382-5913. 

You need a permit from the City Forester to plant a tree in the right-of-way within six feet of any street or road in the City of Decorah. The reason is to avoid hazards for motorists and damage to underground service facilities.

Call 382-3810 to contact the City Forester, Drew Stevenson.

Before digging, you must contact IOWA ONE CALL at 1-800-292-8989 to find out whether there are underground service facilities on the site you choose. The City Forester can help you do this.
