Contact Tree Protection Officials

But first, remember.... Attitude Is Important!

If you see trees in your neighborhood cut down, you may become angry. This is not effective. To be effective at saving trees you must be persistent, but also courteous to your representatives and county or city staff. Most officials want to be helpful, so ask them how you can follow up with the situation you are presenting. Follow up is essential! If the person you are speaking with is not helpful, ask for someone else. Often you will need to call back numerous times to get in touch with the appropriate person. Just remember that whole ordinances have been created to protect trees and there is always an answer to your question. As you and others take notice, so will our public officials and employees.
