Trees are one of Vista’s major communal assets. They add natural character and beauty, as well as create an environment beneficial to all. Just as streets, sidewalks, sewers, public buildings and recreational facilities are major assets to the community, so are the trees lining Vista’s roads and planted in medians, parks and on other public properties.
The City of Vista has about 19,000 trees with around 6,000 of these planted on City owned property, including street medians, parks, open spaces and at public facilities. The remaining balance can be found lining main and arterial roads or are privately owned trees that were planted in the public right-of-way portion of many parcels during the development phase of home building projects.
