Albany Urban Forestry

The City of Albany’s Urban Forestry Program identifies trees as a valuable asset to our community. Our publicly-owned trees (generally trees between the sidewalk and roadway in the public right-of-way) can beautify neighborhoods and increase property values. Trees can also reduce noise and air pollution, keep our streets and homes cool in the summer, reduce wind and stormwater runoff in the winter, create privacy, provide food and habitat for wildlife and garner a sense of well-being for everyone. Trees also sequester carbon, meaning they store carbon that might otherwise be released into the atmosphere and further intensify global climate change. Every tree counts in the fight to maintain a healthy natural environment!
