A Guide for Municipal Tree Commissions

Only twenty-eight percent of Pennsylvania boroughs and cities had a community tree program according to a 1991 estimate. Although this percentage has grown in the last few years, it illustrates that many Pennsylvania communities are overlooking a tremendous opportunity to develop and sustain a valuable community asset - their trees. The following guide explains why communities should start tree programs and how these programs will help any Pennsylvania municipality take advantage of the many values trees provide.
