Trees

Trees play a defining role in the City of Rehoboth Beach's unique character. Our urban forest, which comprises all private and public trees, is consistently a topic of community interest and concern. In care of our urban forest, the city strives to preserve existing trees, plant new trees, and foster positive public interest. 

The City of Rehoboth Beach is proud to be a Tree City USA and recognizes that our trees and natural environment are important components of our wooded seaside character.  The links below provide information about city trees, the city's tree code, tree care recommendations, and FAQs.
