A tree ordinance is a local law that a town or city uses to manage how trees are planted, cared for, protected, and sometimes removed.
In Greenburgh, you usually need a permit to remove a tree once it reaches a certain size, and generally anything over 8 inches in diameter (about 25 inches around), measured 4.5 feet above the ground. Stricter rules apply if the tree is in sensitive areas like wetlands, steep slopes, or other protected zones. Some trees are fully protected and can’t be removed without special approval.
Early spring is a perfect time to look for invasive plants in your yard and remove them. These problematic plants can grow and spread aggressively, quickly take over your lawn or choke out your desirable trees and shrubs. Look out for Lesser Celandin (yellow), Garlic Mustard (White), and the Japanese Barberry (Red). Do not put these plants in your compost or yard waste bags. Dispose of them with your regular trash.
