Welcome to the City of Richfield Forestry Division

The primary goal of the Forestry Division is to preserve, manage, and maintain the health of Richfield's Urban Forest.  Our success in this endeavor will help to provide for a better quality of life for Richfield's present and future generations.  This portion of the City of Richfield's Web site was developed to provide information about urban forest health, tree care issues, and other seasonal tree related topics.

Other links are provided that will connect you to a great deal of relevant tree related information.  Please recheck this Web site throughout the year as related links will change with the season.

We love our trees.
