Despite modest advances in their cause last year and a continuing reluctance by the Village Board to regulate tree cutting on private property, advocates of a strict tree protection ordinance haven't given up hope.
Trustee Jim Griffith last week introduced a proposed ordinance that would ban cutting of older and larger trees in private yards and require permission to remove them in other circumstances. Griffith said the proposal did away with a more cumbersome permit and survey process which led the rest of the board to reject the concept last year.
"It's a simpler, pared-down ordinance focused on one thing.
It should save 60 to 100 of our oldest, largest trees each year," Griffith said.
