Tree Law – Urban Foresters

Municipal forestry plays a huge role in the look and character of communities all across the United States. Community forestry is accomplished by dedicated groups of professionals, including urban foresters and municipal arborists. The safe management of city trees is strongly impacted by tree law and lawsuits involving trees. We created Tree and Neighbor Law to help urban foresters and other municipal arborists get the information and representation they need to manage the legal issues that affect community forests and trees.

Professional municipal arboriculture may include work on many levels. From disease control and community awareness, to liability issues and tree safety, urban arborists work hard to beautify the environment and protect the people from hazardous conditions created by trees. Planting guidelines help create a beautiful environment while still protecting against possible liability. The balancing of tree maintenance and health, with budget concerns and the potential danger posed by trees is a difficult one. Urban foresters should be aware of the latest developments in tree law including lawsuits that may alter a city’s plans for its trees.

Whether there is a problem with tree roots pushing up sidewalks, or trees and shrubs impeding sight lines for traffic signs, we can help you get the information you need. Our tree law information site covers the issues that urban foresters face everyday. To reduce liability, urban foresters may need to increase tree inspection and tree trimming, or otherwise alter the care, control, and maintenance of the city’s trees.
