In some municipal justice systems, tree-based offenses are considered especially egregious. In The City of Park Ridge, Illinois, the dedicated Conservators of the Peace who investigate these violations are members of an elite squad called the Forestry Division. During this presentation, we will discuss the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance through specific case examples to understand how and why enforcement of tree preservation ordinances is an important component to the management of the urban forest.
