The Tree Committee oversees trees in the public space, such as on town property, in town parks, and in the town's right-of-way (grassy strip between sidewalk and street). The committee considers recommended trees for the town and is involved with advising staff on best practices, tree planting, tree diseases, Arbor Day celebrations, and partnering with the N.C. Forest Service on various projects or for consultation.
For trees on private property in the historic district, this would fall under the guidance of the Edenton Preservation Commission.
Meetings take place at 3:30 PM on the third Monday monthly at the Council Chambers. Town Planner Dewayne Whealton is the staff liaison to this board.
