FORESTRY DEPARTMENT

d e f e nd ers of t he t rees The GF Park District Forestry Department has had jurisdiction over the planting and maintenance of all berm trees in Grand Forks since 1917. The forestry crew maintains over 36,000 berm trees & 8,000 park trees, including 24 different tree species, and the horticulture crew plants 35,000 flowers each spring.

Forestry is also responsible for removing old, hazardous, and diseased berm trees.

Forestry offers consulting services to homeowners regarding care of trees & shrubs located on private property. The department responds to over 800 calls a year from homeowners requesting a wide range of treatments to be administered to berm trees.

TREE CARE

D u t ch Elm D is ease

The first case of Dutch Elm Disease in Grand Forks was in 1979. At that time there were 11,800 elms in Grand Forks.

Today, due to the efforts of our Dutch Elm Disease Program, 70% of those elms still remain.

Em erald As h Bore

The emerald ash bore (EAB), is a woodboring beetle discovered in Southeast Michigan in 2002. EAB is native to eastern Asia, and it is believed that the beetle was unintentionally brought to US in infested ash crates or pallets.

For more information regarding tree care and what you can do to prevent Emerald Ash Bore in your city, visit the Forestry page on gfparks.org

Grand Forks is the longest running Tree City USA in ND and celebrates an annual Arbor Day event. (See page 23 for details.)

Scenic and Historic Golf Established in 1909, Lincoln Golf Course is one of the oldest golf facilities in North Dakota. Although it is now a beautiful par 35 course, it was once an 18-hole course until the devastating flood of 1997. Unable to reestablish the full course, it was transformed into a scenic 9-hole course and a short-distance 9-hole kids course, Mullally Little Links.

“nice ride!”

A Course for the Whole Family!

Today, Lincoln Golf Course has become the ideal course for the whole family. It has everything needed for a great game of golf, for players of all ages and skill levels.

Enjoy the course and be a part of our rich history.
