What is a Tree Committee?

A Tree Committee is a local citizen-led group that works with public officials to improve the health of the urban forest (trees in the city) through advocacy, education, management, plantings, and/or maintenance activities. Not every municipality has one, and in those that do, they can be set up differently.
