Santa Monica's community forest is comprised of 32,771
trees located in public areas throughout the
community. Forest management includes tree
planting, inspection, trimming and removal, and
community education to encourage public stewardship
of public and private trees in Santa Monica. Open
Space Management staff review and field check
construction plans for street tree code
requirements, review landscape and irrigation plans
for city projects and inspect those projects during
construction.
This
community forest--providing the benefits of shade in
the summer, sanctuary for urban wildlife, reductions
in air and water pollution and increased property
values--is central to achieving the objectives of
the Sustainable City Program.
