 | ABOUT THE PAONIA TREE BOARD |
Trees are a valuable part of the town’s green infrastructure. They provide important environmental, aesthetic, financial and health benefits to the town. Large trees are an asset which cannot be fully replaced if injured, damaged, or removed. The Town recognized this and created a Tree Board in 1999.
