The Forestry Section of the Public Services Department
has been managing Portland’s shade and ornamental trees since
the mid-1800’s. Our municipal community forest consists of
thousands of street-trees, along over 300 miles of public roadways
on the mainland and our island communities on Peaks, Little Diamond,
Great Diamond and Cliff Islands. We also maintain park & public
grounds trees in our city parks and public grounds. Trees add
great value to our community making Portland a better place to
live, work and visit.
