Williamson County
Emergency Services District No. 1

Dear Neighbors,

The ESD recently purchased a new fire engine for the Jollyville Volunteer Fire Department. While driving through the district it was discovered low hanging limbs and branches were damaging this engine and our ladder truck. Williamson County Commissioner Lisa Birkman has agreed to send a county crew around to trim up the limbs and branches that are hanging down over the streets. We realize these trees are on your private property but your cooperation in allowing them to trim the portion that is over the street is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions please call 258-1038.

Thank You,
Williamson County ESD No. 1
Board of Directors

Protect Your Trees and Our Property Values from Oak Wilt Print
Sunday, 28 February 2010 16:22

Our neighborhood continues to lose one of its most important assets--the beautiful live oaks and red oaks that form a shady, green canopy over our streets and homes. These oak trees are being threatened by a contagious disease called oak wilt. Over the past twenty years, Austin has lost more than 10,000 oaks to the deadly and infectious oak wilt disease. For both individuals and the City as a whole, this loss is felt by increased utility bills, reduced property values, and a sense of devastation.

Protect the value of your property by learning about Oak Wilt, and become aware of the ways to detect, correct and stop the spread of this terrible blight.

A few important tips to help stop the spread of Oak Wilt:

DO NOT PRUNE OAKS from February through June during the Oak Wilt carrier beetle's peak season. You can help enforce this ban by reminding everyone of the real and expensive dangers to our neighborhood oaks.  Everyone needs to protect our property values and oak trees.

It is strongly recommended that you employ only certified arborists to prune your valuable Oaks. Avoid the uncertified tree service vendors who roam the neighborhoods and perform unsafe Oak Wilt practices. Find local certified arborists and check with the Better Business Bureau:
