Tree Board

Our Vision is that healthy native trees and shrubs on public lands add social, cultural, spiritual, environmental and economic benefit to a community that values a vibrant forest ecosystem.

The Mission of the Town of Montreat Tree Board is to represent and act on behalf of citizens in the promotion, protection and preservation of healthy native trees and shrubs on public lands in ways that enhance the quality of life in the community, in partnership with town officials and staff, educators and forest professionals through research, education, outreach and application of best practices for planting, pruning, preservation, removal, replacement and overall care and planning of a sustainable forest canopy and its associated biodiversity.
