Trees & Brush
Whiting Woods is home to a large variety of plant and animal life.
| INDIGENOUS TREES
Much of the charm associated with Whiting Woods is due to the many varieties of tree and plant life. Our Properties, streets and surrounding Verdugo mountains contain many varieties of indigenous trees that are protected by various city ordinances. It is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with these trees, trimming seasons and ordinances before undertaking any trimming, clearance or property improvements. |

BRUSH
Brush Clearance is also an annual concern in the Woods. Each year the Glendale City Fire Department launches a fire safety campaign. The purpose of which is to provide property owners with a reasonable safe zone free of readily combustible fuel.
Home owners are notified of the Defensible Space Concept Guidelines and required to comply. Otherwise, the city may conduct the service and submit a bill for services to the property owner.\
