Members of the Shade Tree Commission are appointed by the Mayor to three-year terms. The remaining members come from the City of Findlay Engineering and Public Works departments. The Commission operates with guidance from the Shade Tree Ordinance 913 and coordinates with the Public Works Department. The Shade Tree Commission’s responsibilities are to provide leadership in selection, promotion, planting and care of trees in public areas like street right-of-ways, parks, cemeteries and other city properties, as well as hazardous tree removal. Information and exhibits are available to assist residents, businesses and local organizations in these efforts. Volunteers, donations of trees and funds for tree programs are always welcome.
