Urban Forestry

Growing a Healthier, Greener Ogden


Ogden City's Urban Forestry program manages and protects the trees that line our streets, parks, and public spaces.  These trees provide shade, improve air quality, support wildlife, and enhance the beauty and livability of our city.  Through thoughtful planning, maintenance, and community partnerships, Urban Forestry helps ensure a safe, resilient, and sustainable tree canopy for future generations.
