- Aldo Leopold


The Forestry Department's mission is to help balance the preservation of our natural resources with the growth and needs of our community. This includes Insect and disease control, tree preservation, hazard tree management, Arbor Day, and other planting events. The City Forester is available to answer any questions regarding tree and shrubs.
