🌳 Upcoming Forestry Work Notice 🌳

Please be aware that our team will be starting our 2026 tree pruning cycle in the 🟠 Orange 🟠 section of Town shown on the map below.

How it works:

Our team has gone out to inspect trees that are located within the Town's right of way. These are trees that the Town is responsible for maintaining, and therefore we conduct tree inspections in a different colored route each year. This means that we will look at each tree every 5 years since there are 5 colored sections within the Town.

During inspections, we identify trees that are in need of pruning based on the following factors:
🌳 Street Clearance: We need to make sure vehicles will not hit the trees as they drive by
🌳 Sidewalk Clearance: We need to make sure pedestrians can safely walk without being struck by branches
🌳 Future Tree Health: We need to remove branches that are likely to cause future problems now so that the tree has a smaller wound to heal. An example of this includes branches that are rubbing on each other which will ultimately damage these branches

Thank you for your support!

The Name on the Door – Carrying the Bradley Legacy in Grand Chute

NATASHA WINKLER Every day, hundreds of veterans from Hortonville, Greenville, and the Town of Center drive down Casaloma Drive in Grand Chute. They pass the retail bustle of the Fox River Mall and turn into a quiet, brick building: the John H. Bradley VA Outpatient Clinic. To many, it is simply a place for a check-up or a prescription. But as we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II this year, we are reminded that the name on that door represents the very best of the Fox Valley....
