City of Oakland

Did you know Oakland has more than 68,000 trees along our streets and in our parks? These silent heroes work nonstop throughout the year to clean the air, enhance physical and mental health, improve water quality, beautify neighborhoods, and even combat climate change. But our trees need support. Before storm season begins, hire a certified arborist to assess trees you have on private property. Proper maintenance can help trees withstand high winds and intense storms. Interested in doing more? Submit an application to plant a street tree here so we can increase the benefits these silent heroes provide. https://hubs.la/Q02PV0DY0
