Tree Management

The Town of Fairfield has long recognized its responsibility as a steward of its community forest, including the trees in the public right-of-ways along Town roads, in Town parks and open spaces, the Town grounds of public buildings, and on other Town properties. The Town of Fairfield has a long history of promoting the protection and enhancement of our treed landscapes and urban woodlands. Through proactive municipal policies and practices the Town ensures the safeguarding of these invaluable environmental resources.
