Boise's Urban Forest
Maintaining the title City of Trees  Boise or as many know it, the City of Trees, has been awarded the title Tree City USA 29 years in a row by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Trees are an integral part of our urban ecosystem. Similar to other infrastructure, such as roads and powerlines, Boise depends on trees to provide many benefits that enhance our daily lives.
Boise’s community forest consists of a diverse array of over 150 different species of coniferous and deciduous trees. These public trees total over 40,000 with estimates of more than 200,000 trees on private properties within the city.
All vegetation, both public and private, growing in Boise is known as our urban forest. The management and care of the trees in the urban forest is called Community Forestry. Those that would like to be a "Forest Ranger" and help preserve and promote the "City of Trees", or if you would just like to know a little more about Boise and its Urban Forest, click here!
