What are street trees?
Street trees are trees that have been required to be planted as part of a land use approval for entire residential subdivisions, commercial and industrial developments. Street trees can be found in the public rights of way, as well as on private property. Older subdivisions often have street trees planted in front yards, on private property. Call the Planning Division to discuss questions related to street trees or the status of a tree at 503-682-4960.
