Urban Forestry

Wake Forest’s Urban Forestry Program provides for the care and maintenance of the Town’s trees. The program is responsible for administering the Town's Tree Ordinance by overseeing the planting, removal and maintenance of trees and other vegetation located on public property and rights-of-way. The program is administered by the Town’s Urban Forester and the Wake Forest Urban Forestry Board, established in 1978 as an advisory board to the Board of Commissioners. The program has continued to expand its mission to include citizen participation and public education through community-wide landscaping projects and informative seminars.
