Gravel Tree Bed

Gravel Tree Bed

Beginning January 1, 2022, the Village of Kronenwetter does not have a contracted urban forester (previously, Management Solutions, LLC)  to assist in the Urban Forestry program including the Oak Wilt cost share program. Please be advised property owners will not receive cost share for activities involved within the Urban Forestry program. Contact Peter Wegner at 715-693-4200 with any questions.

Gravel beds work by stressing the trees in order to make them more viable to survive planting. Trees are placed in the gravel bed bare root. The lack of nutrients and soil cause the trees to focus energy on their root systems, causing them to send out more hairs. This expanded root systems allows for a higher survival rate when the trees are planted in the fall.

The Village no longer has trees available for purchase.
