Forest resources within Oakland County Parks range from stands of oak-hickory and beech-maple to hardwood-conifer complexes. The appraised value of Oakland County's inventoried tree population is $50 million, but beyond this, the annual environmental and community benefits provided by park forests include energy conservation, stormwater management, wildlife habitat, air quality improvements and carbon sequestration.

To ensure the long-term stewardship of these valuable trees, Forestry staff focuses management efforts on hazardous tree removals, forest health/disease detection and prevention and native tree planting programs.
