Show Notes
San Francisco homeowner Paul Dennes faces hefty fines for trimming street trees near his home, as he mistakenly believed they were on his property. The citys StreetTreeSF program, established in 2006, places all street tree maintenance under city control, with strict no-topping rules. Dennes was initially fined $50,000, but after appealing, the fine was reduced to $6,475 if he hires a certified arborist for a five-year pruning plan. The incident highlights the importance of checking the citys street tree map or contacting Urban Forestry to ensure proper tree maintenance and avoid similar penalties.
