Tree Committee

The mission of the Swampscott Tree Committee, in coordination with the Town Tree Warden, is to:
  1. Protect and promote the health of the Town's public trees
  2. Plan planting of trees to improve diversity and expand the Town's tree canopy

Priorities for tree planting have been identified by the Tree Committee as:

  • High public usage areas (playgrounds, parks, public transportation, etc)
  • Tree waiting list (i.e. home owner requests)
  • Neighborhoods with low tree equity
