As part of our OC Loves Trees program, we're creating a long-term plan that will help shape how we protect, plant, and care for trees countywide over the next 20+ years.

We want to hear from you! Use the mapping tool below to show us where trees are needed. You can also plant your ideas, ask questions, and share your love for trees.

The OC Loves Trees Urban Forest Master Plan will be rooted in technical analysis and community engagement, designed to help the project team understand Orange County’s current tree canopy, opportunities to expand the canopy, and actions that will deliver real benefits to communities.

    Thank you for raising this concern! Ongoing compliance with tree preservation and landscaping requirements is important, and we will consider opportunities to strengthen long-term tree protection and enforcement as part of the Urban Forest Master Plan. If you suspect a violation of the County's tree code, you can contact the Orange County Zoning Division at 407-836-5807 or at Arborist@ocfl.net.

  • Share Our neighborhood has missing street trees the builder never installed and some that homeowners have removed from the right of ways in front of their homes because they don’t want them. We thought our street trees would canopy and help with shading our streets and homes and at this rate it never will. People have added trees that aren’t on the approved county list as well. I’d love to have this looked into as we are tired of feeling like we are living in a concrete paradise. on Facebook Share Our neighborhood has missing street trees the builder never installed and some that homeowners have removed from the right of ways in front of their homes because they don’t want them.

    Thank you for sharing this concern. As the plan develops, we will consider species selection and diversity, including opportunities to select appropriate tree species that provide community benefits while considering potential impacts.
