From any point of view, all agree that trees are things of beauty and importance - worth planting and worth preserving. Who We Are The Arizona Community Tree Council is a non-profit organization that promotes communication and the exchange of information about trees, and the essential role they play in the well being of all Arizona communities. The Council is composed of representatives from individual Arizona counties, tribal communities, government agencies, professional organizations and other individuals who have a statewide interest in the Council's mission. A quarterly newsletter is distributed statewide. Each tree is a part of a larger community forest that makes our neighborhoods, our cities, and our state better places to live.
Trees line our streets, shade our homes and grace our parks and playgrounds.
Trees give us cleaner air to breathe and protect us from the scorching sun and strong winds. Trees provide homes and shelter for birds and other animals. Both urban and rural communities have a growing awareness of the many benefits of tree planting. They increase community pride and add natural beauty to our daily life.
