Forestry

The Forestry Division is responsible for maintaining the city’s tree canopy. Winter Park has received the National Arbor Day Foundation’s “Tree City USA” award for the 26th consecutive year and the Foundation “Growth” award since it’s inception in 1991. This division is also one of the 23 cities nationwide to receive the Foundations Sterling award.
