Roadside
Tree Permit Application Forms
Must be printed and mailed with check.
Roadside Tree Project permits are issued for a specific tree or group of trees for
specific tree care operations. This is the permit form to use if you are a
homeowner, or if your Roadside Tree Blanket permit does not authorize the
desired work. Click here to obtain an application for a Roadside Tree
Project Permit.
Once completed, please mail to your local Department of Natural Resources Forest Service office for processing.
For comprehensive and continuing programs of general tree
care such as those administered by State agencies, counties, municipalities,
corporations, and public utilities, click here to obtain an application for a Roadside
Tree Blanket Permit.
Contact the Department of Natural Resources Forest Service office where you mailed the permit application for the
status of permits and permit questions.
If you are a resident of Montgomery County, you will need
to contact Montgomery County Permits Office at (240) 777-6335 to obtain the
county’s roadside tree permit.
Commonly
Asked Questions About the Roadside Tree Permit Process:
Q: How do I know if the tree is a
roadside tree?
A: If the trunk of the tree is
touching the road right-of-way then it is a roadside tree. If you
do not know where the right-of-way boundary is, contact the state, county, or
local road agency that maintains the road.
Q: Where should I send my permit application for
processing?
A: Permit applications the permit fee, and the site plan
(if applicable) should be sent to the Department of Natural Resources
Forest Service in the county where the work is being requested. For a listing
of Department of Natural Resources Forest Services offices, please refer to: County Map
Q: Where will I find the Ranger's final determination?
A: After completing the on-site examination, the reviewing
Ranger will approve or deny the application. If approved, you will
receive the permit via the mail or email. If it is denied, you will
receive a denial letter explaining the reason and steps you can take to
appeal.
Q: The Ranger has approved my application. What happens
next?
A: You will receive your permit by mail or email.
Once you get permission from the road right-of-way owner (State Highway
Administration, county or local department of transportation, etc.) to do the
work listed on the permit, you may begin the work.
Q: Who will do the tree care work?
A: There are a few options: 1) In some jurisdictions, a copy of the permit will be provided by the department to the local public agency so that the tree work will be added to their work roster and performed by that jurisdiction. The Department of Natural Resources does not perform the tree work or removals nor have any influence on the local jurisdiction's work schedule. Specific questions regarding a jurisdiction's schedule should be directed to that jurisdiction's public works office, not to the Department of Natural Resources. 2) Once the homeowner has received the permit and permission from the right-of-way owner, they may have the qualified and Licensed Tree Expert (licensed by the Department of Natural Resources) they hired to perform the approved tree care work.

Baltimore ‘Francis Scott Key’ bridge collapses
Baltimore ‘Francis Scott Key’ bridge collapses after a large
container ship collided with it at 1:27 a.m. Tuesday morning
by Kevin Dayhoff 3:42 a.m. March 26, 2024
The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday morning, March 26, 2024, after it was struck by a large ship.
WTOP news is reporting that “it was a container ship flying under a Singapore flag that crashed into the bridge. The vessel, called “Dali,” was headed through Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, as its final destination, according to Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder maps and data.”
All traffic is being detoured, said Maryland Transportation Authority and it’s unclear if anyone was injured. Although multiple media reports indicate there was traffic on the bridge at the time of the collapse.
“The 1.6-mile, 4-lane bridge extends over the Patapsco River,” reports CNN. (It) serves as the outermost crossing of the Baltimore harbor and an essential link of Interstate-695, or the Baltimore Beltway.
“Its namesake, Francis Scott Key, is believed to have sat near the site of the bridge as he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, inspiring him to write the words of the ‘Star Spangled Banner.’”
According to a Facebook story by the “Thomas Stone National Historic Site,” “On March 23, 1977, the four-lane Francis Scott Key Bridge opened to traffic and is named for the author of the Star-Spangled Banner. The 1.6-mile bridge extended across the Baltimore Harbor and connected Sollers Point in Baltimore County with Hawkins Point in Baltimore City. This was also the final link in establishing the 52-mile Baltimore Beltway (Interstate 695.)
"By the early 1960s, the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (Interstate 895), the first crossing of Baltimore's Harbor, had reached its traffic capacity, and motorists encountered heavy congestion and delays almost daily during rush hours. The State Roads Commission, predecessor of the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA,) concluded there was a need for a second harbor crossing.
"Construction on the Francis Scott Key Bridge began in 1972. Including its connecting approaches, the bridge project was 10.9 miles in length. Other structures along the thruway include a .64-mile dual-span drawbridge over Curtis Creek and two .74-mile parallel bridge structures that carry traffic over Bear Creek, near Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point plant."
This is a developing story – check back for updates.
