| The
Commission for Conservation of the Environment, established in 1971,
consists of five to nine members appointed by the Mayor with the approval
of the Board of Trustees, for "the preservation and improvement
of the quality of the natural and manmade environment within the Village"
and to foster environmental information and education.
Since
1989, the Village has been awarded "Tree City USA" as
determined by the New York State DEC Forestry Division and the National
Arbor Day Foundation. The award is based on a program of continuing
tree care and maintenance and legislation to protect the health
and development of municipal trees along streets, in parks and at
construction sites.
|
Commission
members also serve as a Tree Board to monitor the health of Village
trees along rights-of-way and in the parks. |
