Established in 1978, the Southold Tree Committee promotes and manages healthy, safe and effective trees along streets and on public grounds to preserve and enhance the beauty of the environment for the benefit of its citizens and future generations. The Committee also works within the community to increase awareness of the importance of trees and their care. The Tree Committee accepts request for new street tree plantings as well as the removal of trees. They do not require donations but do rely on contributions from residents and businesses.
