Urban Forestry Commission
Urban Forestry Commission
The City of Asheville, realizing that trees have a profound effect on the quality of life in the community, deems it necessary and desirable in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare to enact an ordinance for the preservation, planting, replacement, and removal of trees without denying the reasonable use and enjoyment of real property.
The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the planting of new trees and shrubbery; to vigorously encourage the protection of existing trees and shrubbery, including their root systems; to regulate the preservation, replacement, and indiscriminate removal of trees and to establish procedures for fulfilling these purposes.
This commission typically meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 1:00pm. For more information on agenda items and meeting minutes, go to the Urban Forestry Commission webpage.
