The City of Pasadena will be conducting a Ficus Tree Community Meeting on Wednesday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at the Central Library’s Donald R. Wright Auditorium, located at 285 E. Walnut. Parking can be found behind the library.
The Department of Public Works is gathering feedback from the community to decide whether or not ficus microcarpa trees are an appropriate species for its respective location along Green Street, and should continue to be planted by the city. Ficus trees provide a multitude of benefits for the city, but also pose unique challenges and maintenance costs that will be discussed at the meeting.
Public input may also be submitted through a survey available here at cityofpasadena.net/main/ficus-tree-meeting/.
The feedback gathered through the community meeting and survey will not result in the removal of any live, healthy trees.
For more information, contact the Citizen Service Center at (626) 744-7311.
