We Have A Few Trees!

The Lake Mills Forestry Department has an extensive urban forestry management program that is governed by the City of Lake Mills Ordinance 665-B. The purpose of this program is to promote and protect the safety, health and welfare of the general public through the regulation of planting, maintenance and removal of trees within the City of Lake Mills. A continuing effort to improve the urban forestry program in Lake Mills is our goal.
