Urban Forestry

The Urban Forestry section of the Streets Division plants, prunes, and cares for the 100,000 trees along City of Madison streets.  Trees in parks are maintained by the Parks Division.  Trees in stormwater greenways are overseen by Engineering Division.  Private property trees are the responsibility of the property owner. 

Our staff takes great pride in our rigid safety standards; whether planting a new tree or cleaning up after a major storm, we are dedicated to the safety of workers, residents, and property while creating a thriving and diverse urban canopy.
