Do you have a special tree on your property?  The Atherton Tree Committee is accepting nominations for the Annual Tree Awards program.  Eligible trees are any species that meet one or more of the following criteria: outstanding specimen; unique in size, age, species, or historical significance.  Awards will also be given for the best preserved tree and the best newly planted tree.  Nomination forms are available at the Town Administrative Offices, the Permit Center, or by clicking this link: Tree Award Nomination. For more information contact Kathy Anderson, town Arborist, 752-0526.

Two Tree Award winners from 2009 appear below, a blooming Eastern Redbud and an exceptionally tall and stately Valley Oak.
