Overview

The Holly Springs Tree Advisory Committee provides assistance with:

• planning an annual Arbor Day event 
• guidance about how Holly Springs can maintain good standing with Tree City USA standards 
• recommendations on methodology for expenditure of funds for the Street Tree Replacement Program 
• recommendations on methodology and criteria for the removal of diseased street trees (those planted between sidewalks and town streets) or perimeter yard landscapes (those that provide town-required buffers between different developments)  
• review and recommendations on updates to the town's tree maintenance guidelines and preferred tree selection criteria 
• public information initiatives helping residents understand the importance and need for tree preservation and maintenance.

The Tree Advisory Committee has two subcommittees:

The Business Committee focuses on street tree standards, preferred tree/landscaping lists, obtaining Tree City USA status, sustainable design approaches and funding.

The Education & Outreach Committee focuses on Arbor Day events, other events and public outreach.
