The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter

Salem Reporter logo

Good morning, Salem.

It’s been over a year and a half since the city adopted a new tree code that expanded protections for large trees and Oregon white oaks, and Salem Reporter wants to hear your thoughts about its implementation.

Do you think the code is effective? Have you faced any challenges trying to prune or remove a problem tree on your property?

Email community reporter Abbey McDonald at [email protected] with your thoughts and what, if any, changes to city tree code you want to see.

THANK YOU, SALEM!

Our crew had a blast visiting with so many of you at Salem Saturday Market. We were delighted to hear your thoughts on our work and news coverage and to get your tips for other stories we can do. We also appreciated the chance to explain what we do at Salem Reporter to those new to our service.

We especially appreciate those who then signed up for a subscription. Without subscribers, we couldn’t do what do for the community.

You can always find our latest reports anytime of day or night on our website.
