Arborist Services for Municipalities

A healthy and well-maintained tree canopy is essential for livable, sustainable, and climate-resilient communities. But without proper stewardship, trees can become burdens, rather than treasured community assets. With extensive experience in all aspects of urban forestry, Wild Roots is ready to assist your municipality in reaching your greening goals. 

Whether you’re starting with an initial assessment and plan, looking to expand your urban forest, or upgrading your management practices, it’s always a good time to invest in your community’s trees. And here in New Jersey, with tree protection ordinances now a component of MS4 stormwater permits, municipalities may require additional expertise and support.
