Trees are declared to be beneficial public resources. To that end, this chapter provides for the promotion, management, and redevelopment of the city’s urban forest. The first responsibility for maintaining and renewing the forest, however, lies with the individual citizen. It shall be unlawful to remove, top, transplant, damage, poison, or in any other manner destroy or cause to be destroyed any tree in the public ways of the city, or to fail to comply with any other provision set forth herein.
