The council seeks to provide a forum for sharing ideas and developing new programs. Community leaders tap the forestry group for advice and assistance to improve the care of community trees. The council was formed in 1991 by urban forestry leaders from around the state with the support of the Oregon Department of Forestry. Anyone interested in community trees is encouraged to attend the Dec. 11 meeting to learn more about Oregon Arbor Week and the work of the council. Local tree issues will not be debated at the session.
Alternate transportation is encouraged.
Members of the public who wish to attend may bring a bag lunch.
