Trees Committee
Birmingham Trees for Life is managed by the Trees Committee, which reports to the Board of Trustees of The Birmingham Civic Society. Most of the Committee members are volunteers, who give their time to the project because of their love of trees and belief in the importance of trees in the urban environment. The Trees Committee is also supported by representation from Birmingham City Council's elected Members, and receives arboricultural advice from the Council's Trees Manager.
