The Engineering and Public Works Department, Roads and Grounds, manages trees on Town properties, including road right-of-way, parks, riverbanks and trail systems. The Division is responsible for identifying maintenance and protection needs, including tree assessments, pruning, removal, replacement, and planting.

The Town may plant trees on Town-owned land and within road rights-of-way. The Town may also enter lands within the Town to inspect trees for safety concerns, potential risks to people or property, and signs of disease, to protect public safety and the health of other trees.
