Urban Forest

The City of Menlo Park desires a thick urban forest to protect and preserve the scenic beauty and natural environment of the city, prevent erosion of topsoil and sedimentation in waterways, encourage quality development, provide shade and wildlife habitat, counteract air pollutants, and decrease wind velocities and noise. The City achieves this goal though the Heritage Tree Ordinance and other city projects.
