The Yakima Tree Board was established by the Yakima City Council on December 6, 2016 by Ordinance No. 2016-032. The Tree Board will be responsible for studying, investigating, developing, updating, and administering a written plan for the care, preservation, pruning, planting, replanting, removal, or disposition of trees and other plantings in City parks, along City streets, and in other City-owned public areas. The written plan, which will constitute the City&#8217;s official comprehensive tree plan, will be presented to the City Council annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meetings:<\/strong> Bimonthly &#8211; typically the third Monday at 5:00 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact:<\/strong> Eric Crowell, Senior Planner &#8212; (509) 576-6736 or <a href=\"mailto:eric.crowell@yakimawa.gov\"><strong>eric.crowell@yakimawa.gov<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Current Members:<\/strong> Jheri Ketcham, Daniel Layton, Scot Stephens, Ken Tolonen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tree Concerns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The public tree ordinance regulates trees on public property, public rights-of-way, and to a limited extent, on private property.
