Community Tree Program: Organizational and Procedural Guide to Community Tree Management
"The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia (ACC), strives to proactively conserve and professionally manage the public tree resource and actively support quality conservation and management of the private tree resource for public health and safety, environmental health, and enhancement of our quality of life.
"The purpose of the Athens-Clarke County Community Tree Program is to support public and private tree conservation and management. While “letting nature take its course” may be perfectly suitable for uninhabited and undisturbed natural areas, trees and the community forest are substantially altered and many benefits are lost as humans change the land for modern living. The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County provides a role in support of public health, safety, and welfare through many public services, including the Community Tree Program as described in this Organizational and Procedural Guide to Community Tree Management."
