Fredericton Tree Commission

The Fredericton Tree Commission was established in 1952 as an advisory body to City Council and is dedicated to the stewardship of Fredericton’s urban forest. Commissioners are impartial, non-political volunteers who are appointed by City Council and who must have appropriate training and background in natural resources in order to serve. The City is represented by a City Councillor and two members of the Parks and Trees Division:  the City Forester and a Forest Technician.

Tree Commission members often collaborate with City staff, providing their expertise to projects such as the restoration of the “Old Burying Ground” where the original Loyalists and other early settlers of Fredericton rest; public lecture series on trees, shrubs, and other related subjects; insect and disease problems other than Dutch elm disease; beautification of parks and other public places; Arbour Day Celebrations and other activities as required.
