Forestry is responsible for the design, planning, planting and management of trees, boulevards, landscapes, greenspaces
and beautification projects within the City of Milwaukee.
The primary goal of Forestry Services is to efficiently manage the urban landscape to provide better quality of life for
our citizens and visitors. This effort seeks to maximize the environmental and psychological benefits of the urban forest,
while enhancing both landscape and property values.
The division is responsible for the management of all shade and ornamental trees growing on city streets and boulevards
which constitutes approximately 200,000 trees.
Forestry manages vegetation on 121 miles of boulevards, 57 tot lots, 59 greenspaces, 20 designated municipal properties
and 20 above ground planters in the downtown area. Forestry also serves as a resource to other agencies in greenspace design,
implementation and maintenance.
