Columbus encourages tree replanting through the Forestry Division's street tree program. When city street trees are removed, the Forestry Division typically replants replacement trees. Private developments in planned districts may be required to include tree replacement as part of site plan conditions.
The Columbus Forestry Division plants street trees upon request and replaces city-owned trees that are removed due to disease, storm damage, or infrastructure projects. The city participates in tree planting programs and urban canopy initiatives. For private development, tree replacement requirements may be imposed as conditions of site plan approval in planned development districts, but there is no citywide tree replacement ordinance for private property.
Failure to comply with tree replacement conditions in planned development approvals may result in denial of certificate of occupancy or code enforcement action.
