Friend of Trees Awards 2007 Beginning in 1997 the Urban Tree Advisory Committee, followed by the Community Tree Council, has presented the Friend of Trees Award to persons or organizations that exemplify good stewardship of trees in Athens-Clarke County. Selection of recipients is based on the use and/or preservation of trees in unique ways that enhance property aesthetics and/or demonstrate protection and concern for the environment. Since 1997, 34 awards have been presented. The Community Tree Council is pleased to present the 2007 Friend of Trees Award to Joe Sanders. | ||
| This year the CTC is proud to be able to honor Joe Sanders who, for nearly a century, has been involved in the stewardship of trees. |
