The town of Guilderland is proposing a local law that would create a Tree Preservation Committee to protect and preserve native trees.

We urge passage of this law. And we liked the proposal made by councilwoman Amanda Beedle to have an index of native trees on the town’s website.

This would inform residents choosing trees for their yards on which trees are native to the area and would help preserve the ecology and attract native pollinators.

Richard Gifford says that 5,000 cubic yards of tree waste from off-site locations was dumped on a pasture near his home at 2357 Old State Road. “The dumping violated town ordinances,” he told the board on Aug. 16. “It also disrupted the natural drainage systems, covered wetlands identified on the national wetlands inventory, caused groundwater backup on our properties, created a fire hazard, and created an environment for rodent infestation.”
