Overview

The Town of Aurora's Tree Planting and Approved Plant List Policy, a 10-page policy of Parks and Recreation Services dated June 2015. It brings the aspects of tree planting into one reference: species diversity, the Town's official tree species list with site suitability, spacing and setbacks from infrastructure, planting procedures such as staking, watering, wire basket, bare root and tree spading, and replacement trees.
