We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries in the office this week about tree care and removal. Depending on where the tree is located, it may be owned by the city. If that is the case and you have questions, you’ll want to check out the Bureau of Street Services’ Urban Forestry FAQ page at this link.

There you will find answers to questions about responsibility for managing street trees and questions about pruning and removal, among other tree topics.

You can get back to the link to that FAQ page anytime on our website’s Community Resources page.
