The Chillicothe Tree Commission meets Tuesday afternoon. They generally oversee the care of trees in the public right-of-way.
The public meeting is 5pm January 17th, in the first-floor conference room of the City Administration Building at 35 South Paint Street.
The commission has helped Chillicothe to be be recognized for its urban forest management, and to be designated as a "Tree City USA."
The shade trees of Chillicothe are a valuable part of Chillicothe's heritage and history. The mission of the Chillicothe Shade Tree Commission is to maintain and improve the community forest of the city through the sharing of expertise, guidance and recommendations to the city administration and property owners for the protection of healthy trees, planned pruning, tree risk assessment, and planting in public right-of-ways and open spaces. In addition, the commission works to educate the public about the services that trees provide. This commitment to planting, protecting and maintaining public trees represents a long-term investment in the beauty, biodiversity and historic character of Chillicothe.
