The Tree Committee is a sub-committee of the Parks and Recreation Commission. It was formed to advise the Commission on matters regarding trees in the right-of-ways and parklands.
The Committee works to maintain and enhance the livability of the community through education of the benefits of trees, proper tree maintenance and fostering planting and preservation of trees where appropriate. Each year they plan and develop an Arbor Day observance and celebration for the City.
The Committee 'typically' meets at U.S. Cellular Community Park, Maintenance Building, 300 Lowry Lane, on the second Wednesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. and generally ends at 7:00 p.m. depending on business. Meetings may not take place if commissioners choose not to meet or they do not have agenda items.
Contact the liaison to confirm a meeting will be taking place or for other need.
The Tree Committee acts on the authority provided in their By-Laws.
