Chattahoochee Hills proposal would revive Tree Board with tree professionals

A proposal in Chattahoochee Hills’ October 6 work-session packet calls for reestablishing the Tree Board with three members, including at least one certified arborist or equivalent tree professional. Quarterly meetings would begin in the first quarter of 2027.

The charter reproduced in the packet assigns the board, when requested by Council, to develop and administer a plan for caring for trees and shrubs in parks, along streets and in other public areas. Members serve unpaid one-year terms and are appointed by the mayor with Council approval.

The proposal favors qualified professionals over a local-residency preference. Council discussion is scheduled for October 6 at 5 p.m.; the materials present a proposal, not an approved board revival.
