Can I get more information about the Expand the Forest program?
The Expand the Forest program allows members of the community to dedicate a tree in memory of departed loved ones or to commemorate special occasions while encouraging expansion of our urban forest. Trees are $70 and are planted and maintained in public parks.
Sponsors will receive a formal Certificate of Acknowledgment, signed by the City Council. Names of sponsors, trees selected, planting location and any pertinent dedication information is also published in The Leaflet, the City's bi-monthly newsletter. For more information, contact Public Works at (949) 461-3480. To view the City Council selected tree palette of approved trees, visit

Do I need a permit to cut down or trim a tree on my own property?
No, with the exception of eucalyptus trees. From April 1 through October 31, a permit is required for the cutting of eucalyptus trees. The Development Services Department, located on the 1st floor of Lake Forest City Hall, is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and alternating Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to accept permit applications. If you are a member of a homeowners association, please check to see if your homeowners association has a master permit for this purpose.
