Tree Board History By the
1980's a situation had developed in the Village of Oxford regarding the trees.
Various groups and civic organizations had worked independently solving smaller
needs, but not looking at the whole Village and its future. Back in the late

formed of Elms and Maples. Now many of the Elms were destroyed by Dutch Elm Disease,
and the Maples had either died or declined in health due to their environment.
