After several weather events in the past few years have taken down limbs and branches from trees in Salina, the city is looking at using a maintenance program to prevent such destruction in the future. On Monday, the Salina City Commission approved city staff to submit a letter of interest to the Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM) for a grant of more than $165,000 for a citywide right-of-way and parks tree pruning mitigation program. Salina Public Works Director Jim Teutsch said this project would allow the city to proactively maintain the city’s tree canopy.
