Document Description
This project, to be carried out by City of Visalia, involves the planting of 1450 trees at various locations throughout the City of Visalia. It is anticipated that this project will commence planting trees from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010. Trees will be native and non-native ornamentals that have been selected for their disease resistence, adaptation to the urban landscape, shade capacity, and minimal litter production. Trees planted will be of an appropriate container size for the location, and all trees will be planted, staked and tied, watered and maintained in accordance with CAL FIRE's tree planting guidelines.

Reasons for Exemption
This project involves minor alterations to land and vegetation including the planting of new landscaping trees. As this is a heavily disturbed urban environment there is a low likelihood of impacting any significant biological resources. CAL FIRE's staff have reviewed this project and determined that there are no cultural or historic resources present in the project vicinity. CAL FIRE finds that the proposed activities will pose a less than significant impact to the environment including cultural, historic and biological resources.
