Trees for Watertown

*WHAT WE DO...* The Trees for Watertown Board of Directors and other interested members meet monthly, nine months of the year, to plan, evaluate, and act on behalf of Watertown's urban forest. • We advocate for the long-term care, conservation and planting of trees in Watertown. • We collaborate with Watertown's Tree Warden to educate citizens and institutions on the importance of trees in the urban environment, and to develop plans and policies for the long-term health and well-being of Watertown's urban forest. • We attend town meetings and give voice to tree issues related to building developments, park renovations, and road improvements. • We celebrate Arbor Day with the Tree Warden each April by donating the planting of a tree and helping to provide tree seedlings to schoolchildren. • Your idea here!
