TREE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Years ago, in 1984, the City of Geneva established a Shade Tree Commission. It’s time to breathe new life into this organization and Geneva’s tree lawns. Many old and dying trees along the streets have already been taken down for safety’s sake. The Shade Tree Commission will be spearheading a replacement program. We are looking for two Geneva City citizens who would be willing to give a few hours to serve on this commission to beautify our community. If you are interested, please contact City Hall at 440-466-4675.
