Decorah Tree Board

Our Mission

Our Board encourages community residents to plant trees so that future generations may enjoy the benefits of reduced pollution, a more beautiful city, increased habitat for wildlife, and the conservation of energy from the natural air conditioning and wind protection that a diverse tree cover provides.
