Blessed with a mild climate and long growing season, Vancouver supports an extremely diverse and healthy urban forest. This priceless resource includes native west coast woodlands, stately park specimens and over 138,000 boulevard trees lining the City's streets.

Vancouver Park Board staff are responsible for the care and maintenance of all public trees. Our dedicated arborists grow trees at Vancouver's own tree farm and plant thousands of new trees each year.

Staff systematically inspect and prune both park and street trees, respond to thousands of service requests annually, and treat trees when they become diseased or infested with pests.

Together with neighbourhood groups, schools, and other agencies, the Park Board promotes and enhances our urban forest to ensure the beauty and liveability of our city.
