Street Tree Map

The San Francisco Street Tree Map is an online database and map of San Francisco’s street trees. Anyone can look up information about trees, such as their location, species, and more, at any time.

Disclaimer: The database and information populating this map are continually in development. As we refine and improve the quality of the data inputted, more accurate information will be reflected on this map.

The San Francisco Bureau of Urban Forestry (BUF) gathers and maintains a database of approximately 125,000 public trees on sidewalks, medians, and other public rights-of-way. Whenever a public tree is planted, pruned, or removed and replaced, the tree is surveyed, and the information is updated in the City’s database, which is then reflected on the Street Tree Map.

The map has various functions that you can mix and match to find exactly what you are looking for. These features include:

• A search function to look up a specific tree in the City.
• A search function to find a species type.

• Get information such as species, size, and when a tree was last pruned by clicking directly on it.
• View only street trees, only street trees by neighborhood, or only street trees by Supervisorial District.

• Combine any of the above layers to see street trees by neighborhood, street trees by Supervisor District, street trees in a neighborhood within a Supervisor District, etc. The combinations are endless!

When you click on a specific street tree a pop-up box appears with the following information:

• The address associated with the tree
• The tree's ID from the database
• The species of the tree
• The tree's trunk size in inches
• The Supervisor District the tree falls into
• The Keymap Grid the tree falls into. Keymap Grids are based on the City's grid system and are used by StreetTreeSF to schedule tree maintenance work.
• Last Pruned: this is the date associated with the status of a Keymap Grid. For example, if the status is "Planned," that means tree maintenance work has not yet taken place, and the date range that follows is the estimated date of planned maintenance work. You may see a status of "Complete", which means that Keymap Grid has received maintenance work from StreetTreeSF, followed by the month and year the work was last completed. You may also see a status of "Active" followed by the current year which means maintenance work is currently in progress.

While a typical city might have 80-100 different species represented among its street trees, our city has an astonishing 628 species and cultivars (a cultivar is a “cultivated variety” of a species, i.e., a subset of a species that has been bred to have special characteristics such as showier flowers, no fruit or a columnar form). A total of 62 tree species found in San Francisco’s streets are native to California. This wild diversity is very valuable for several reasons:

• It reduces the impact of pests and diseases that target specific species.

• It allows us to observe different species' health and longevity so our urban forest managers can consider new options when planting in the future.

• It reflects the great cultural diversity of our city

The diversity in species can also challenge and vary the maintenance needs for the StreetTreeSF program, which is why tracking the condition of each tree is essential for the health of our urban forest. A healthy urban forest is essential to a healthy city.

The City now maintains and cares for all of San Francisco's street trees through a program called  StreetTreeSF . Tracking information about our street trees helps us determine each tree's needs and condition so we can plan accordingly for its maintenance.

We are resuming tree maintenance work. Due to delays from shelter-in-place orders, scheduling will be different than planned. Schedules are estimates, and planned work is subject to change for numerous reasons. Please check back periodically as we continue to update information based on the latest data collected in the field.

The pruning map schedule does not replace the existing notification processes for street tree removals. Signs posted and/or a letter will inform you of upcoming street tree removals. You may also view posted removals on the  Tree Removal Notification Page.
