The Iowa Falls Community Tree Board was established June 24, 1991, to provide the community assistance in areas of planning, planting and care.  The Tree Board uses a city ordinance and a keen interest in the community canopy to help all maintain a beautiful safe community.  Permits are available at City Hall and there is no fee for permission to plant or remove trees in the parking area along our city streets.  The Boards interest is the proper tree in the proper place, and what you intend for the future.

The Tree Board consists of seven members, five of which are residents of the City and appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council.  The remaining two members consist of the Park and Recreation Director and the Street Superintendent.

The Tree Board acts as an advisory committee to the City Council and the Board of Park and Recreation Commissioners.  The Tree Board is responsible for studying, investigating, counseling, developing, and updating a written

plan for the care, preservation, pruning, planting, replanting, removal of trees and shrubs in parks, along streets and in other public areas.
