Why doesn't Prince George's County remove trees from private property?

The Arboriculture Section of Prince George's County Parks Department has a duty to mitigate known risks associated with trees located on park property; especially, in and around amenities or areas where we invite the public. In compliance with existing Maryland state laws, it is the property owner's responsibility to provide removal of trees, debris and make repairs to private property.
