## New Tree Ordinance Passed
At their meeting on Friday, January 9, 2026, the Board of Commissioners formally adopted a new tree ordinance that regulates the removal of canopy trees on public and private property.
The ordinance went into effect immediately upon its adoption, simultaneously lifting the moratorium on tree removal that was enacted in April 2025.
The full text of the new Chapter 114, Trees, as well as a one-page summary of its key provisions can be accessed at the links below.
Town staff are working to put the administrative processes in place to implement the new ordinance. Should you have questions or wish to discuss further, please contact Town Hall.
