Conservation Advisory Council Wants Your Thoughts On Trees

womensclubtreeThe Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) has asked Scarsdale10583 to post a link to their survey about trees and the laws that govern them in Scarsdale. They are seeking the input of Village residents and ask that you take a few minutes to complete their survey.

The CAC is an advisory body to the Village Board of Trustees. The Council studies issues affecting the local environment and maintenance of the Village's "natural" character. This year the CAC has been reviewing Scarsdale's tree ordinance, which was adopted in 2009.

In the wake of large storms that have occurred here since 2009 resulting in tree-related blackouts and damage, and the continual redevelopment of the Village's housing stock the CAC has compiled this survey to collect your views. In a community that cherishes and yet sometimes has a fraught relationship with its trees, it is vitally important that residents' voices be heard, particularly when changes to the law are being considered. The survey is short and should take less than two minutes. Click here to access the survey.
