Tree Board Mission

The Belle Isle Tree Board is dedicated to promoting a healthy, sustainable, and vibrant urban forest for the benefit of all residents. Fostering environmental awareness through education and community engagement.

Tree City Information and Standard

Tree City USA program provides us with a four-step framework to maintain and grow our tree canopy.  It also gives us an avenue to celebrate our work, showing residents, visitors, and the entire country that we are committed to the mission of environmental change.  Belle Isle was awarded the Tree City USA certification by fulfilling these standards:

  •     An active Tree Board.
  •     A tree care ordinance.
  •     A community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita.
  •     An Arbor Day observance and proclamation. 

Meetings

The Tree Advisory Board meets quarterly on the second Thursday of the month at City Hall at 6:30 pm or on an as-needed basis.
