The Parks and Horticultural Division is responsible for the urban forest. Without taking into consideration wooded areas, Pointe-Claire has an inventory of over 18 000 trees located in parks and alongside streets, on the portion of land belonging to the city. This constitutes our urban forest.
The Parks and Horticultural Division intervenes in the preservation of trees located in parks, green areas, and municipal properties including the portion on land alongside private properties belonging to the city. Pruning, bracing, felling, grinding of stumps and a plantation program are some of the regular interventions requested by citizens. The Parks and Horticultural Division also treats requests for felling permits for private trees. In emergency situations, broken branches or fallen trees, a representative will assess the situation and make the necessary arrangements to rectify it as quickly as possible.
