Huntsville Tree Commission Establishment

The Tree Commission oversees the city’s tree population by creating an annual tree plan, setting maintenance standards, coordinating Arbor Week, and monitoring tree service licensure. It supports projects like leaf recycling, tree planting systems, and public education. The commission also advises on tree-related issues, reviews appeals, and collaborates with the forestry horticulture supervisor to address public tree needs.
