Strong winds can cause branch failures on trees in Saskatoon’s urban forest. In recent days the City has had about 20 calls of downed trees or branches.
The City urges residents and visitors to be mindful when near trees. Unexpected branch and tree failure can result even with forecast wind gusts of up to 60 km/h.
With the windy conditions, the demand for City forestry service requests has also increased.
Unless a tree limb is blocking traffic or posing an immediate threat to life or property, City staff will address downed trees or limbs on a priority basis.
