How A Shade Tree Commission Helps Your Urban Tree Canopy
Kristin Ace, Chairperson, Morristown Shade Tree Commission
Ms. Ace will explain what a Shade Tree Commission does for your municipality, how it protects the urban tree canopy and how a Shade Tree Commission functions.
Kristin Ace is a champion for trees and as a founding member of the Morristown Shade Tree Commission, has helped establish this state-sanctioned body to ensure the appropriate management of the Morristown community forest and also promotes the responsible stewardship of common greenspace and shade canopies. By combining decades of experience as a storyteller and performer with extensive training and involvement with tree care, she has propelled tree planting and care in public spaces, working with various stakeholders to achieve these goals.
