Who is responsible for caring for boulevard trees in front of my residence?

The City of River Falls is responsible for all trees and other vegetation located within the boulevard area between the curb line and property line. Only the City is allowed to plant and prune trees within this area unless permission is granted by the City Forester and a site assessment is made. If there is an issue with trees or vegetation in the boulevard area notification will be given to the homeowner in the form of a door hanger prior to work commencing.
