Tree and Landscape Board

The board was created to establish policy and provide standards within the City landscape ordinance for tree preservation and protection, both public and private, to include, but not be limited to, providing educational materials on proper planting, pruning techniques, insect and disease control, planting of native species, inventory of existing trees, permit guidelines including rules for tree removal, opportunities for citizen involvement and City tree sales. The planting of trees provides a continuing shade canopy into the future.
