AB  - The role of state governments in regulating utility arboriculture is primarily for the purpose of protecting and maintaining the aesthetics of public roadways for the traveling public. The utility service companies can realize benefits as the state becomes active in promoting proper tree care standards within utility clearance space requirements. Maryland’s Roadside Tree Program is administered to foster cooperation between property owners, local jurisdictions, utility services and other state agencies in the care of trees within the public rights-of-way.
