The Virginia Department of Forestry Urban and Community Forestry program supports homeowners across the Commonwealth as they establish and maintain their trees. The benefits of trees to the environment and quality of life are clear – even yard trees contribute to human health, improved water quality, energy savings, and reducing heat.
Managing trees in the yard, and in urban and suburban environments can sometimes be overwhelming. The VDOF provides professional forestry assistance to help homeowners manage their tree resources through education, advice, and connecting homeowners with appropriate resources.
- Planting trees
- Proper tree care
- Hiring a certified arborist
