Stop Topping Trees

Tree topping may seem like a quick fix for reducing a tree's height, but it comes at a high cost to our urban landscapes and ecosystems. This harmful practice involves cutting off a tree's crown, causing stress, damage, and long-term issues. Find out more here.

Here's why we need to put an end to tree topping:

  • Stress and Damage to Trees
  • Increased Risk of Disease and Pests
  • Weak Regrowth
  • Aesthetic and Property Value
  • Environmental Impact
  • Legal and Safety Concerns

Instead of tree topping, we advocate for proper pruning methods, like appropriate branch reduction cuts, maintain tree health without the downsides of heading cuts and topping.

Let's keep our trees thriving and our community beautiful.
