Welcome to "Splinters"...Tree Boards and municipal organizations are an important ingredient in the green industry mix for the state of Montana. They are vital to the health and well-being of trees within a community. Here we share the comings and goings of those organizationss around the state. We encourage tree boards to share in their accomplishments, ideas and programs that are not only successful for their communities but can be utilized across our large state.
