The Tree Section of the Forestry Division is responsible for the planting, removal, and maintenance of all trees in city parks, median strips, and 150,000 street trees. Each year the Division plants and removes approximately 3,000 street trees. In an effort to maintain the city's rich tree inventory, the Division has undertaken a comprehensive reforestation program to identify, design, and plant trees for the city parks as well as conduct an ongoing district trim program. The Forestry Division inspects approximately 20,000 trees per year.
The Weed Control Section is responsible for the maintenance of 4,000 city-owned lots and highway easements including grass cutting and debris removal as well as Project Greenlot, co-sponsored by Operation Brightside, which consists of vacant lot cleaning, grading, and seeding to make continued maintenance easier. |
