SAVE OUR ELMS |
|
SAVE OUR ELMS is a all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of street trees in the City of Portland, Oregon. Our primary focus is the inoculation of American Elm trees to resist Dutch Elm Disease. Affiliates operate in Ladd’s Addition, Eastmoreland, Mount Tabor, Richmond, and the West Hills. Each Affiliate conducts fund raising activities to purchase fungicide which is injected into the root flare of the elm trees. Each tree must be treated on a three year cycle. Cost for the inoculation ranges from $125—$200 per tree depending on size. Over 600 trees are inoculated by SAVE OUR ELMS in Portland neighborhoods. Annual cost is over $30,000. The organization also plants street trees to replace mature trees lost over the years to disease and weather. SAVE OUR ELMS co-ordinates tree maintenance by negotiating advantageous rates with local arborists for sanitation and pruning. |
