Jeanette Lyon (fourth from left in accompanying photo) was
appointed by City Council to serve a four-year term on the North Myrtle
Beach Tree City Board. We thank her for her service!
The Tree City Board
meets quarterly, although special meetings may also be held.
The Tree City Board
advises the City in all tree related matters; serves as a source of information
about proper tree maintenance techniques and community tree management
policies; make recommendations for public tree establishment, maintenance,
protection and removal; provides input to the public grounds superintendent for
the development of an annual work plan and long-range planning; reviews the
City’s tree ordinance, tree planting master plan, and recommends changes to the
same at least every two years; promotes and supports the Tree City USA program;
and undertakes other responsibilities as City Council may direct.
Property owners and
developers who are interested in finding out more about how they can preserve
trees on their property are invited to contact the Tree City Board at nmbtreeboard@nmb.us.
The Tree City Board
developed and manages the Tree of the Month program, which began in 2010 as a
way to recognize trees within the city that have been preserved over the years.
The Tree of the Month program also provides a platform to remind people of the
benefits and importance that trees offer in our everyday lives.
If you think you have
the biggest, best-looking, or most unusual tree in North Myrtle Beach, or your
tree has a unique story attached to it, the Tree City Board encourages you to
contact Parks & Grounds Superintendent Jim Grainger at (843) 280-5571 or via
email at nmbtreeboard@nmb.us.
