What this means
The commission heard a presentation from six Miami students who asked Fairfield to grow its urban tree canopy by 20% by 2055. Members also planned volunteer work for the farmers market, tree staking ahead of a 250-tree planting event, and Adopt A Highway duties. The April minutes were approved, but the minutes do not show any major policy vote or formal action on the student proposal.
