Village of Mamaroneck Tree Law
Trees help sustain an ecological system that provides climatic advantages to people and wildlife alike: cooling the air, buffering the wind and providing a natural barrier to noise. Conserving these natural assets was the impetus behind a decision by the Village of Mamaroneck's Board of Trustees (with support from the Tree Committee) to vote on and enact a new tree law. On October 12, 2021, the Village passed a local law making property owners in the village responsible for the maintenance of trees on their property, including their removal. The penalty for failing to follow this law is a fine of $1,050 or more. The law is intended to preserve our trees, which provide numerous benefits, including the reduction of air pollution, increase to the tree canopy, and the improvement of the drainage and maintenance of a healthy eco-system. Studies show that a minimum tree canopy cover of 40% is the threshold needed to reap the full benefits of trees. A goal of the Board of Trustees, supported by the Tree Committee, is to achieve this minimum tree canopy coverage and maintain it on an ongoing basis. The Tree Committee as well as the Building Department has put together the following resources to help educate and inform residents about our Village's Tree Law.

Partner-in-the-Community: Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins Urges Residents to Prepare "Go Bags" and Family Evacuation Plans
The devastating wildfires in California are a stark reminder of the need to be prepared to leave your home on very short notice during an emergency. Recent flooding, severe storms and power outages have required some Westchester residents to leave their homes for multiple days. County Executive Ken Jenkins and Commissioner of Department of Emergency Services Susan Spear urge all residents to have a Go Bag for each family member, as well as an evacuation plan, which includes knowing how family members will contact one another if separated, establishing a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find and planning ahead for locations where displaced family members can stay. Watch a video on emergency preparedness here and refer to the flier below for items to pack in your Go Bag.
