Tree Committee

The Tree Committee is an advisory committee with a mission to preserve trees and increase the tree canopy of the Village of Mamaroneck.

Trees are beautiful and are a vital part of the infrastructure of the Village. Trees absorb huge amounts of water, and help to lessen the effects of flooding. Trees cool our homes and buildings, provide food and shelter for wildlife, and boost our mental and physical health.  Trees remove particulate matter from the air, convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, and sequester carbon in the ground. 

With these vital benefits in mind, the Village introduced a Tree Law in November 2021 to safeguard both village trees and private trees. You may read our FAQ here.

In 2010, the Village began an extensive tree replanting program, and by the Spring of 2017, Mamaroneck had planted 1,000 new trees on Village streets and in public parks. The Village is committed to planting new trees every year.

In addition to their work behind the Village of Mamaroneck's Tree Law, the Tree Committee organizes events and programs throughout the year — including seasonal tree walks and author talks — to educate residents on the importance of trees.

If you would like to suggest locations for new Village trees, or have any tree related questions/concerns, you can email all the members of the Tree Committee at treecom@vomny.org. To email individual members of the Tree Committee, please refer to the roster below.
