Jan 13, 2025 | 10:10 AM

Winter tree pruning is ongoing in Lethbridge.

City crews begin this year’s effort with Brandon Elms along Red Crow Boulevard West and Poplars in Columbia Bay Park.

Elm trees have a specific pruning window from October 1 to March 31, and the remnants are disposed of properly to prevent the spread of elm disease.

Other areas set for pruning include:

– Corvette Crescent South

– Areas around Henderson Lake

– The middle median of Mayor Magrath Drive South

– Downtown

The contractor will prune approximately 900 trees between 6 Avenue South and 9 Avenue South, running from 4 Street South to 13 Street South.

All pruning is scheduled to be complete by March 31.
