Rockville is a city that remembers and reveres its roots, its commitment to citizen-centric public service, to the planet and to the connectivity of its neighborhoods and residents.
Rockville is regarded as one of America’s leading small cities for work, for play and for life. It is the vibrant, highly educated, business-friendly home to some of the nation’s and the world’s most prominent biomed and technology companies and is adjacent to the world’s most powerful city, Washington, D.C.
Rockville is a city that remembers and reveres its roots, its commitment to citizen-centric public service, to the planet and to the connectivity of its neighborhoods and residents.
Rockville values its trees and forests because of the many benefits they provide to the community. The city is obligated under the Maryland Roadside Tree Law, as administered by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), to maintain the street trees within the public right-of-way. This includes pruning, removing hazardous or dead trees, and planting trees. As a Public Agency, the City of Rockville is subject to the regulations of the annual Roadside Tree Blanket Permit issued to us. When any tree care is performed on a roadside tree without a permit, a fine may be assessed or more severe actions taken by the DNR Forest Service. Please do not prune, remove, plant, or conduct any other activity within the right-of-way.
