The Mayor and Board of Aldermen established a Tree Board on August 19, 2013 to assist in the selection, planting and maintenance of trees within the city limits, to study the city’s urban forest, determine needs, and to compose and review annually a Tree Plan and seek ways to implement it.
The Tree Board is comprised of one member of the Board of Aldermen, two Glendale citizens appointed by the Mayor, the City Forester, the City Administrator, and the Public Works Superintendent.
Mission Statement
Our Mission is to create, publicize and consistently administer a policy for the planting, maintenance and removal of trees and shrubs in the City of Glendale that fairly, equitably and judiciously encourages and enhances the beauty of Glendale, in conformance with current and future City Ordinances, but ever mindful of the long term benefits to the community of a vibrant and healthy urban forest.
Tree City USA
Glendale has been designated as a Tree City USA since 2013 in recognition of our ongoing efforts to care for publicly owned trees. You can learn more about the program and the valuable community benefits trees provide by visiting the Arbor Day Foundation website.
