Missoula foresters estimate a loss of up to 1,000 trees after July storm

Missoula’s Urban Forestry Division says it’s examined roughly a quarter of the city’s trees for damage following the storm. So far, it estimates a loss of 600 to 1,000 trees on city land alone. More than 450 have been marked for removal.

Ecosystems Services head Morgan Valliant says the city’s three full-time arborists have been in “triage” mode for weeks.
