Line clearance tree pruning - or in some cases, tree removal - may be necessary to ensure a continued reliable and safe supply of electricity for Statesville Electric customers.

Information on the card outlines the "directional" or "lateral" pruning method used, which is approved by the US Forest Service, the International Society of Arboriculture, the National Arbor Day Foundation ... and the Statesville Tree Commission.

If you have questions about tree maintenance in your area, contact Shawn Cox - Utility Line Clearance Supervisor (704-832-3827).
