Springfield is a city of its own, but you'd hardly know it on a map: Wikipedia describes it as an enclave of Battle Creek, completely surrounded by the larger city. For tree removal, stump grinding or trimming in Springfield, call (269) 579-6469 or use the form.

Parks and trees
Begg Park, at 20.7 acres, has a professional 18-hole disc golf course that hosted the 2008 Disc Golf World Championship, plus the Springfield Farmers' Market and a brook. Upton Park (formally John F. Kennedy Park) covers 6.2 acres around a one-acre pond, and Rothchild Park has about 12 acres with a pavilion and a dog park. The Fort Custer Recreation Area, a state park, lies in the Battle Creek-Springfield area.
Which rules apply
Springfield runs its own council-manager government, so Battle Creek's tree trimmer license chapter isn't automatically its rule. Ask Springfield's city office whether it licenses tree contractors or has rules for trees near the street. State-level guidance (MISS DIG 811, the DNR's oak dates, Consumers Energy's line rules) applies the same way. See tree rules.
