Managing the City's Urban Forest Tree Canopy
|
The City of Coral Gables has been named a Tree City USA for the past 35 consecutive years, and the City takes
the job of managing our urban forest canopy very seriously
. With five arborists on staff, the City manages the overall health and protection of about 39,000 trees planted on City property and rights-of-way. For public safety, the City manages the risks associated with tree failures, and approximately 125 trees are removed every year when a tree dies, the structural integrity of a tree is compromised, a tree poses a safety hazard, or when a tree is a problematic invasive species.
