Urban Forestry

“The most rewarding part of my job is enhancing the environment as well as the quality of life for the residents of Duval County by incorporating the natural world into the man-built world through proper urban forest management and planning.”

"Just as a forest is comprised of many different trees to thrive, our urban forestry team brings together multiple disciplines in order to create a knowledgeable team and healthy urban forest."

"Reversing deforestation is complicated; planting a tree is simple." – Martin O’Malley

"To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, to live as a people, we must have trees." - Theodore Roosevelt
