Can I pick the type of tree that is planted adjacent to my property?

No. The City established an Urban Reforestation Policy to ensure a healthy and diverse tree population throughout the community. It aims to distribute trees evenly throughout the city by species, with a goal of using no more than 10 percent of any genus or 5 percent of any one species. Limiting the planting of single species results in an urban forest that is not as impacted by invasive species or diseases in the future. A contractor for the City will be determining the species of tree for specific locations.
