Yountville Council To Consider Removing Dying Washington Street Oak

Yountville residents can submit email comments or speak at the Town Council's Tuesday meeting about removing a dying valley oak at 6484 Washington St. The council's regular meeting begins at 3 p.m.

An independent arborist found the tree is dying and shows signs of activity consistent with the Mediterranean oak borer. Its declining condition increases the risk of falling branches that could threaten people and nearby buildings. The arborist recommends removal to address those safety concerns and help prevent the beetle from spreading to other oaks.

The council will review the removal application and supporting arborist assessment before making a determination. The agenda and packet are available on the Town's Agenda Portal.

Public comments may be submitted by email or delivered in person at the meeting. Questions can be directed to Aaron Hecock, planning and building director, at ahecock@yville.gov or (707) 944-8851.
