Board to fold heritage-tree program and B City USA resolution into next tree master plan

Charles Town Tree Board · December 4, 2025

Summary

Members said revisions to a subdivision/tree ordinance and the heritage-tree program remain with the ordinance committee; the board will present a tree master plan and B City USA resolution to council early next year.

Chair Aaron Amori said the board's proposed ordinance revisions (including a heritage-tree program and changes to subdivision planting language) remain under consideration by the ordinance committee. He recommended presenting the revised tree master plan and a 'B City USA' resolution to the full city council as part of that package.

A city liaison told the board the resolution should be presented along with the master plan and noted associated fees and planning requirements. Members agreed to circulate a draft master plan before the January meeting and to work with the liaison and council to schedule a presentation. The board also discussed possible heritage-tree designations to protect large, older trees and how waivers might be managed for non-native plantings.
