City of Carmel Urban Forestry
Much of Carmel’s beauty is derived from street trees. Carmel has been recognized as a Tree City USA for many years because we are dedicated to preserving and increasing the number of trees in our community. A big part of this initiative has been our street tree program. Please see the links below for information on the urban forestry committee and our street tree program.
