Welcome to Portland's Community Forestry Web Page.

Our page outlines the various services offered to Portland residents and tree related informational links.

The Forestry Section of the Public Services Department has been managing Portland’s shade and ornamental trees since the mid-1800’s. Our municipal community forest consists of thousands of street-trees, along over 300 miles of public roadways on the mainland and our island communities on Peaks, Little Diamond, Great Diamond and Cliff Islands. We also maintain park & public grounds trees in our city parks and public grounds. Trees add great value to our community making Portland a better place to live, work and visit.

Portland, Maine has received the ‘Tree City USA’ award from the National Arbor Day Foundation since 1978.
