Forestry
The mission of the City of Cottage Grove's Parks is to preserve, manage, and maintain
the health of Cottage Grove's urban forest. The community's urban forest is a valuable natural resource that must
be preserved and maintained to provide a better quality of life for present and future generations. Natural
resource management priorities are placed in the following three main areas: preservation of existing natural
resources, maintenance of existing natural resources, and the installation of new natural resources.
The City of Cottage Grove Parks pledges to continue to implement management practices that will provide for a
healthy and aesthetically pleasing urban forest. The Parks is also constantly monitoring the health of our
urban trees as existing and new insects and diseases occur.
One of the major problems with our oak trees is Oak Wilt Disease. Please read further about this
potentially fatal oak tree disease in this web site. The public is always welcome to contact the parks division
with any problems associated with our trees. Be on the lookout for tree pests anytime from April to
August.
