Treasured Trees
Asheville GreenWorks’ Treasured Trees Award Program identifies, documents and recognizes the largest, rarest, oldest and prettiest trees of various species.
The purpose of the Treasured Tree Program is to:
1. Bring public awareness to these valuable and irreplaceable trees.
2. Increase the tree owners’ awareness of the tree(s)’ unique importance to encourage continued stewardship.
3. Protect all such trees from indiscriminate removal or irreparable damage during development and urbanization.
4. Stimulate awareness of the diversity, sensitivity and importance of the tree canopy and roots.
We recognize both individual Treasured Trees and Treasured Tree Preserves. Contact Susan Roderick at 828-254-1776 or susan@ashevillegreenworks.org for more information, nomination forms, and a list of Treasured Trees and Treasured Tree Preserves.
