What is the CityTrees’ Pruning Program?

To ensure the optimum urban forest, CityTrees wants all trees to be compatible with their environment. We periodically return to the places we have planted to prune trees for the structural integrity and for sidewalk and street clearance.  This allows trees to grow healthily, reach their full potential and helps provide a safe area for pedestrians. Our pruning volunteers work only with hand tools, and our feet never leave the ground.  Pruning work that requires power tools and/or elevation above the sidewalk should be performed by a professional.
