Forestry Services
The Parks Department Central Forestry division and forestry divisions of each borough provide a variety of tree and sidewalk-related services to New York City. A description of each service is below. If you know your service type and would like to submit a request, please use our online forestry service request system to do so.
Dead Tree Removal
Dead trees reported on streets, parks, playgrounds or other public spaces will be inspected and, if appropriate, removed. Parks' service pledge to citizens with dead trees in front of their houses is to inspect and remove such trees within 30 days of notification. To report a dead tree, call 311 or use our forestry service request system.
Submit a Forestry Service Request
Use our new forestry service request system to submit a service request, and we’ll route your submission to the appropriate Parks Department division and provide you with a tracking number and details about how your request will be addressed.
After a tree is removed, Parks will automatically add the site to the free tree planting program.
