The Statesboro Tree Board was established on January 15, 1991. The Board consists of 9 members appointed by the Mayor and City Council to serve a staggered three (3) year term, with a maximum of two consecutive terms totaling six (6) years. These members are appointed with consideration for their personal expertise in all the areas of horticulture and preservation of our environment. The Board is responsible for hearing requests for variances for special use permits in the enforcement of the City of Statesboro Tree Ordinance.
Coming Soon: Tree Rebate Program
We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of our Tree Rebate Program. This initiative aims to encourage residents of Statesboro to enhance their green spaces by planting trees. The program will provide financial rebates for qualified tree purchases, promoting biodiversity, improving air quality, and contributing to the overall beauty of our community.
Details on eligibility, application processes, and rebate amounts will be shared soon. Stay tuned for more information on how you can participate in this effort to keep our environment vibrant and healthy. Together, let's make our community greener!
