Catskill Tree Council

The Catskill Tree Council

The Catskills Tree Council is steered by a dedicated group of board members, each bringing a unique set of skills, knowledge, and passion for environmental conservation to the forefront of their mission. This committed team works tirelessly to promote the preservation, planting, and care of trees within the Catskills region, recognizing the critical role trees play in maintaining ecological balance, enhancing biodiversity, and providing essential benefits to both the environment and the local community.

Their pursuit of preserving local trees is driven by a deep understanding of the challenges facing urban and rural landscapes, including threats from development, disease, and climate change. By engaging in a range of activities—from educational programs and community outreach to hands-on conservation projects—the board members of the Catskills Tree Council aim to inspire a culture of stewardship where every individual recognizes the value of trees and is motivated to take action.

Their efforts extend beyond preservation to include advocating for sustainable urban planning, supporting research on tree health and conservation, and facilitating partnerships with local governments, schools, and businesses to maximize the impact of their work. Through their dedicated work, the Catskills Tree Council’s board members not only safeguard the trees themselves but also contribute to the overall well-being of the communities within the Catskills region, ensuring a green, healthy, and resilient landscape for future generations.
