Street trees are more than just greenery. They are essential infrastructure that keeps our neighborhoods cooler, cleaner, and healthier.
The City of Toledo manages over 90,000 public trees across the community, planting about 1,400 new trees each year while trimming, maintaining, and removing others to keep the system healthy and thriving.
Because trees are part of the public right-of-way, they are cared for with the same attention as streets, sewers, and other city services. Every property contributes through the tree maintenance assessment which funds planting, pruning, removal, and tree related sidewalk repairs.
