The City of Ocala manages a diverse urban forest across parks, public landscapes, Downtown, the North Magnolia corridor, and the Ocala Golf Club, including high‑value palms vulnerable to Lethal Bronzing Disease, a rapidly spreading and fatal infection best managed through early detection and proactive antibiotic inoculation.
