TREE INVENTORY
An inventory of Arlington's street trees was conducted in 2017 to determine the number of town trees, their valuation, and their condition. The inventory is also used by the Town for tree maintenance and management. The results can be seen in the Public Tree Inventory Map.
TREE PLANTING
There are several ways residents can help to enhance the tree canopy in their neighborhood:

Purchase a tree via the Community Canopy Program
