City-owned trees (either located between the sidewalk and the curb or park trees) are pruned year-round. City residents can call 311 (outside city limits call 585-428-5990) to schedule an inspector to review the condition of the tree. If the inspector determines that a tree is a threat to public safety and needs prompt attention, pruning will be scheduled. To determine if your tree qualifies, it must have either:
1. Low limbs that impede vehicles or pedestrian foot traffic
2. Large or excessive amounts of dead wood
3. Limbs affecting homes or buildings
4. Limbs blocking traffic signals or signs
5. Limbs blocking a street light Call 311(outside City limits, please call 585-428-5990) if you need your city-owned tree inspected. The Forestry Division will come to your property and assess its condition. For more information on how Forestry maintains the Urban Forest, check out the Master Plan.
