2. About the Tree Protection Policy

   On September 16th, Ordinance No. 1062 was approved to establish rules and procedures for protecting mature trees in the city right-of-way, parkland, greenspace, city-owned properties and the front yards of private property throughout Roeland Park. Protected trees are those with trunks that measure 12 inches or larger in diameter and 4 1/2 feet from the ground. The ordinance states that protected trees cannot be removed or destroyed without first obtaining authorization from the City Arborist.

   Please complete this form to request approval  to remove a protected tree on your property. If your tree is damaged, diseased, dying or dead, you still need to complete this form. Someone will reach out to you to inspect the tree to determine the next steps.

   Contact Donnie Scharff with any questions at 913-722-2600 or dscharff@roelandpark.org. Thank you for your cooperation in preserving the City's tree canopy!
