Tree Commission

The Tarrytown Tree Commission is dedicated to the stewardship and preservation of the village’s arboreal heritage and tree canopy.

Our mission is to safeguard Tarrytown’s diverse native shade tree population, ensuring they continue enhancing the community’s environmental quality and aesthetic appeal, helping reduce energy consumption, and increasing longer-term property values so future generations can enjoy them.

Our efforts contribute to the Village’s Climate Adaptation Plan, ensuring tree management aligns with broader environmental sustainability goals.

We are committed to advising on residential, commercial, and municipal plans that impact trees and related plantings.

Through our website's educational content and community engagement, such as tree sapling giveaways at farmer's markets and Halloween Trunk or Treat events, we strive to foster a deeper appreciation for our natural environment among residents.

These projects reflect the Commission’s commitment to maintaining Tarrytown’s natural beauty and ecological health for the enjoyment and benefit of all residents.

This board meets the second Thursday of the month at 5:30 PM. To join by Zoom, click here : https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86187066548?pwd=czU1bG45eHdJRXh3bjZGbndJL0Rjdz09
