Wauwatosa's forestry department looks after more than 25,000 city trees in medians and along streets, spanning 116 species, and treats about 3,600 trees for emerald ash borer on a three-year cycle. Residents can even look up city trees on the Tosa Tree Dashboard.
Trees on your own property are a separate matter. If one of them needs to come down, we handle the removal. If you are not sure whether a tree is yours or the city's, check with the city forestry department before work starts.
Treatment works best early. Once an ash has lost much of its crown, removal is usually safer than waiting.

Thinning crowns, dieback, and fungus point to trees that are failing.

Where a tree cannot fall freely, we lower sections with ropes and a bucket truck.
