The following email was received from Dan Richardson of the Cokeville Tree Board and is posted on Cokeville blogspot as it was received:The Cokeville Tree Board held its organizational meeting on February 10th and elected Dan Richardson to serve as the Chairman, Mary Lue Birch, Secretary and Andrea Halls, Treasurer. Other board members include Brenda Lazcanotegui and DeMont B. Grandy.
Having a Tree Board qualifies Cokeville to apply for private, state, and federal funding for purchasing, planting, and caring for trees and shrubs in our town. The Tree Board’s primary duty is to advise the Cokeville Town Council on issues regarding trees and shrubs; however the Tree Board is eager to be a resource for the citizens of Cokeville as well.
Chairman Richardson noted that the Tree Board will need to get off to a quick start because Arbor Day – April 26th – is quickly approaching, and the Tree Board needs to plan and coordinate this event. The members agreed to hold monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month starting with March. All Tree Board meetings are open to public and are held at the Town Hall conference room starting at 7 p.m.
