Service Requests Unrelated to 311

  • 🌳 Tree Trim Requests

    The Bureau of Forestry no longer accepts 311 requests for trimmings.

    Forestry now follows a grid system, trimming branches block-by-block, in each grid of the ward.

    This system was created to improve efficiency by ensuring each ward has a dedicated day of the week for tree trimmings to improve widespread attention to tree care in the city! In the 35th Ward, crews for tree services are in the area every Tuesday.

    Though there is no formal 311 request for tree trims, in the event you are experiencing issues with a tree in the parkway that is urgent, please contact our office with images of the tree and your address so we may be able to escalate service.
