Mission Statement
The Tree Commission's mission is to support and promote the vitality, integrity, and extent of State College's Urban Forest. Acknowledging their major contribution to the livability of our city, the Tree Commission intends to augment the number and variety of our trees, protect their health, and promote public understanding of the major role trees play in our community. The Commission espouses a vigorous street tree program and urges community citizens to participate in protection and enhancement of the private urban forest, as well as the public one. State College’s urban forest encompasses not only trees and plants in parks and along streets, but on private property as well. The benefits from the urban forest are maximized if both the public and private forest are well maintained. |
