Urban Forestry.
We’re sorry for the mess!
The Urban Forestry webpages are under construction.
The City of Hamilton's Urban Forestry Division is dedicated to maintaining the health and beauty of our urban trees while ensuring safe and reliable service to the community. As part of the Department of Infrastructure, we manage a rigorous tree trimming program to maintain proper line clearance throughout our city. Through proper management we are able to provide safe and reliable service to our city.
The City of Hamilton urban forest includes more than 13,000 trees in public parks, green spaces, and rights-of-way. A healthy and safe urban forest provides wildlife diversity, higher property values, improved air and water quality, storm water management, energy savings from summer and winter extremes, and quality human health.
