What the BeetleBusters Can Do For You
| |||||||||||||
| We inspect your trees | As a BMFPD resident, you can request an inspection of the trees on your property. You can also report suspect trees in the neighborhood to the BeetleBusters. The team will identify the property owner and contact them for permission to inspect suspect trees. Your name will never be mentioned. To report faders or dying trees, see the Home page. For a fee-based inspection by an area professional, we recommend you call Bruce Benninghoff, a retired US Forest Service Forester. Bruce is very familiar with the area. You can reach him via his web site at www.frontrangeforestry.com or at 303-978-1284. |
