Pacific Palisades Urban c initiative aims to revitalize and strengthen the commu­nity's tree canopy through thoughtful planning, strong community partnerships, and the application of proven practices in urban forestry and landscape design.  Pacific Palisades Urban Forest Master Plan Trees welcome our return and renewal. Mission Our team of residents, landscape architects, and arborists is collaborating with the City of Los Angeles' Urban Forestry Division to ensure that green infrastructure in Pacific Palisades is integrated into our community's rebuilding process. Vision A robust and resilient urban forest improves the overall quality of life for the community. Its many benefits include reduced energy use, improved air and water quality, and increased property values. We envision tree-lined streets in Pacific Palisades that will strengthen neighborhood character and community identity, support a healthy ecosystem and provide sustaining shade that encourages an active lifestyle.

The Palisades Forestry Committee's mission to enhance and sustain the health and beauty of the Pacific Palisades urban forest for future generations by facilitating the planting of appropriate trees and the caring for our existing trees. Palisades Parkway Promise Donations Many of our street trees did not burn, but were left without irrigation and without anyone to water them. A water truck has been rolling through the Palisades, keeping many of our stressed trees alive. But the funding has been exhausted. Please keep the water truck driving through our streets to water the street trees. The Promise: We'll keep the trees alive until Palisadians come home. Donations will be processed through the Palisades Forestry Committee, a California nonprofit organization 501(c)(3).

A permit is required for the removal or pruning of any street trees in parkways (in the street "right of way" - usually between the curb and sidewalk). Tree Removal & Pruning Permits are Needed Before Tree Removals, Pruning, or Planting A permit is required for: Removal or pruning of any street trees in parkways (in the street "right of way" - usually between the curb and sidewalk). Planting trees in the parkway. Removal of a “protected tree” anywhere on private property in Los Angeles City, pursuant to the LA City Protected Tree Ordinance which includes the following protected California native species: Oak trees – All oak species indigenous to Southern California (excluding scrub oak). There are about 2 dozen oak species indigenous to SoCal. Quercus species (Oaks) have acorns, which is one common identifier. The most prevalent oak in the Palisades is Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak), which can be seen in our parks and in the Santa Monica Mountains, but there are other oak species here too. Western Sycamore (Platanus racemosa) California Bay Laurel (Umbellularia californica) Southern California Black Walnut (Juglans californica) Mexican Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia) All of Pacific Palisades is in the City of Los Angeles, including Santa Monica Canyon and Rustic Canyon, Paul Revere Charter Middle School, the Polo Fields and Riviera neighborhoods, the Highlands, most of Castlellammare (partly in LA County), and everywhere in between. Indentification Trees may be identified by: Entering the tree's characteristics into the selectree.calpoly.edu website, and matching the photos of the trees with those characteristics. Taking a photo of the tree with a tree identification app (such as Seek by iNaturalist, or PictureThis-Plant Identifier). Consulting the book A Californian’s Guide to the Trees Among Us by Matt Ritter. Forms Find online information and permit forms for tree removal and pruning (roots or limbs) on the streetsla.lacity.org website. View Forms What to Do If You See a Tree at Risk of Being Cut Down or Improperly Pruned Questions Where is it - public or private property? A street tree in the parkway or on private property? What city or county? Pacific Palisades is in Los Angeles City (except for a small part of western Castellammare in LA County). What tree species? Is it one of the native trees listed in the LA City Protected Tree Ordinance? (See list above). Is there a real health issue with the tree? Or is it just naturally deciduous, or a big mature tree, or just needs some attention? Take Action & Options These action options depend on whether it’s just a threat of removal or if you see the tree being removed now. Talk to the contractor or owner. Be respectful and neighborly. Ask to see the removal permit. Read it to be sure it’s a recent permit from Urban Forestry Division (UFD) of StreetsLA (fka Bureau of Street Services) for this specific tree at this address.

Do you want a street tree for your parkway (between the curb and sidewalk)? Palisades Forestry Committee (PFC) will facilitate the planting of street trees in neighborhood parkways for homeowners who want a tree. Want a Street Tree? Temporary Ban on Planting Street Trees For the next few months or so, the City of LA's Department of Water & Power and the Pacific Palisades Community Council have placed a ban on planting any street trees in the Palisades parkways. DWP needs time to plan the undergrounding of electricity and the placing of above ground transformer boxes in the parkways of every 5 to 8 homes, where street trees might otherwise be planted. We will continue to plant trees in schools and parks. Permits are required for planting, pruning or removing street trees in the public right of way (the parkways). Urban Forestry Div. of StreetsLA will not issue permits for street tree planting in the Palisades during this ban. The Infrastructure Committee of the PPCC has been advocating for undergrounding power in a way that minimizes the impact on surviving trees and asking the various utilities to share trenches in order to preserve some space for new street trees. Palisades Forestry Committee is on the Infrastructure Committee and has been working to solve this issue. We thankfully accept donations for our tree planting in parks and schools, and along our Palisades parkways as undergrounding occurs. Do you want a street tree for your parkway (between the curb and sidewalk)? Palisades Forestry Committee (PFC) will facilitate the planting of street trees in neighborhood parkways for homeowners who want a tree. Our goal is to fill street tree vacancies where there is space to do so, to increase the tree canopy coverage along our streets, to shade and beautify our neighborhoods, and to offer the life enhancing benefits of trees in our public spaces. PFC was formed to research, make recommendations, and facilitate the planting of street trees that enhance and sustain the health and beauty of our neighborhood urban forest. PFC includes landscape professionals and local tree advocates, with the advice and cooperation of representatives from the LA City Urban Forestry Division (UFD) and LA City Councilmember Traci Park’s staff. We created a database of functional and aesthetic plusses and minuses of various tree species in order to determine the best possible tree choices by location. Specific trees to be recommended for a street will depend on the size of the planting area (width of the parkway x length of plantable area), the compatibility with the existing street trees, and the micro-climate of the block. We may recommend native trees or other low or medium water trees that are growing space and climate appropriate. Our goal is the largest canopy for the space, for the greatest shade area, whether evergreen or deciduous. We know the current LA City guidelines for the planting of street trees in order to protect city infrastructure like sidewalks and utility lines. Fire tolerance (or fire resistance or fire resilience) is now an important consideration in tree selection. We've settled on "fire tolerance" as the best label, concurred in by Prof. Matt Ritter at Cal Poly SLO. We compiled a list of fire tolerant trees (Resources tab). It is a selection of trees that are generally seen as fire tolerant. Well hydrated and well maintained trees can act as shields in an urban fire storm by catching embers that would otherwise be blown further toward homes. Many other well-maintained, well-hydrated trees may tolerate and survive fires, but there are no guarantees for them or for those listed. Proximity to structures is a better predictor of whether trees burn, and street trees generally have some distance from structures. The higher water content of the tree, the more fire tolerant it is. Many of the existing street trees are not appropriate any more with our changing climate. Some species are too big for their space, causing root damage, and others are too thirsty for our climate. We may recommend riparian trees where appropriate, such as canyon bottoms. We want to preserve and care for all of our existing trees and not remove them. We plant where there are vacancies. Palisades Forestry Committee plants the right tree for the right space. Jacaranda trees on San Lorenzo St., by Randy Young 2026 What We Will Do Verify the Vacancy Confirm there is a qualifying tree vacancy in front of your home. Recommend a Tree Species Assess the growing space and climate to recommend a suitable tree species or two. Share the recommendation with you for approval. Coordinate with Neighbors Communicate with neighbors who also have vacancies on your street. Aim to fill vacancies along the entire street in a one-time planting effort, typically offering two tree species options. Recruit a Block Captain or Street Captain who lives on the street to introduce us to neighbors and encourage tree planting. Obtain Permits and Source the Tree Secure approval and permits from the city’s Urban Forestry Division (UFD). Procure the tree for planting. Plant the Tree Hire a professional landscape contractor to plant and stake the tree. What You Will Do Approve the Plan Give your approval for the recommended tree species for your home's parkway and for the planting process. Commit to Tree Care Agree to water the new tree for at least the first three years to ensure it becomes established. (We’ll provide watering instructions.) Support the Program Make a suggested donation to PFC to support tree planting efforts in the Pacific Palisades area. We look forward to hearing your questions, comments, and your interest in getting a street tree.
