Forestry
Windsor Forestry manages trees in parks and public areas. They plant, prune and maintain the health of the urban forest. In addition, Windsor Forestry monitors for insects and diseases that could cause potential harm to the trees in town.
Programs
Windsor Forestry offers programs and activities for the community to participate in to help keep Windsor "tree-riffic."
