Local governments and municipal authorities in Spain and Mexico are implementing various vegetation management and maintenance programs.

In Spain, initiatives include specialized training for palm tree maintenance in Villa de Mazo and selective vegetation control along the Tormes River in Alba de Tormes to favor native species and protect infrastructure. In Cabra, tree removal was conducted in a green area to ensure safety following excavation works, though this led to local dissatisfaction regarding the loss of shade and lack of communication.

In Mexico, municipal services in Torreón have undertaken maintenance on over 400 palm trees to improve urban aesthetics and mitigate safety risks from falling debris during high winds.
