 The Mayor and City Council have recognized these benefits and realize the need to protect their investment with a comprehensive, urban forest management program.   The City Service Department Division of Forestry is responsible for all City-owned trees. It monitors the planting, pruning and removal of trees on public property, which includes:  trees within the right of ways, parks and around municipal buildings. 

In Strongsville , more than 112,000 trees (along streets and in parks) provide beauty and shade in our community.
