The Forestry Division is responsible for all trees on City boulevards (352 miles of city streets), as well as for all trees in city parks and on other city owned property.

In addition to tree maintenance on public property, the City Forester also assists residents in handling Oak Wilt Disease, Dutch Elm Disease, Insect Infestations, and landscape planning and plant selection.

The Forestry division also oversees the City-wide Christmas Tree Recycling Program, as well as the In-City bow hunting program.
