Village of Athens adopts tree law

Daniel Zuckerman is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media the Athens Village Board has unanimously approved the "Standards for the Care of Village Trees" local law. The ordinance focuses on the maintenance, removal and care of trees on village-owned property. A state environmental review was completed before the law was passed. The Friends of Athens group received a $2,500 grant from the Athens Community Center in January to conduct a survey of trees on village-owned property by a certified arborist.
