The Oxford Village Tree Board studies and provides recommendations
regarding trees, shrubs and other plantings on Village-owned
property.
The Tree Board also works to promote and preserve trees, shrubs,
and
plantings; they regulate the planting, transplanting, maintenance and protection of trees and shrubs in the Village to
ensure their
health and safety. The Tree Board also develops an annual work
plan in
accordance with Tree City USA guidelines, submitting estimated
annual
expenses and reviewing planting projects.
