Urban forests are street trees and other vegetation that provide green spaces within an urban setting. Urban forests provide immense beauty to cities, as well as many benefits for people and nature. Invasive tree pests threaten the health of our urban forests.

Help protect your urban forests and adopt a tree to monitor for signs of invasive pests.

This pilot program is focused in the city of Watertown, NY. To participate, select a tree to "adopt," and check the tree(s) in the spring, summer, and fall for signs of a tree pest. If signs are found, you are asked to take a photo of the suspected sign (hole in the bark, woodpecker damage, tree crown loss, etc...) and email it to mdemarco@watertown-ny.gov with the subject of (adopt a tree).
