Belmont Tree Board

The City Council created the Tree Board to promote urban forestry and to help preserve Belmont's tree canopy. The Tree Board, which consists of six Belmont residents, will promote urban forestry through an annual Arbor Day celebration and various educational events throughout the year.

The Tree Board also promotes urban forestry by providing information to residents about the importance of trees and of planting the right tree in the right location. It has completed an inventory of Belmont's street trees and is working on revising Belmont's tree ordinance.
