THE CONVERSATION ABOUT TREES has just begun! Please sign the Petition to the Town of North Hempstead to pass a robust tree law with regulations designed to care for, protect and regenerate our tree canopy. For the Petition click Here.

Join Transition Town Port Washington and RewildLI for a conversation about the benefits of a strong canopy and key policy elements required to stop loss and start regeneration of healthy trees. We will focus specifically on the need to strengthen the proposed amended TONH tree laws (next hearing to be held 11/18/21) to ensure adequate tree biodiversity, equity, and protections as we prepare for our changing world. There will be a Q & A and suggested actions. Let’s update the TofNH Tree Law to make our town more resilient and also, SAVE our TREES and PLANT more!
