Land trusts can engage in activities which are often difficult or impossible for municipal, county, regional or federal governmental entities. The Network also holds an annual Florida Land Trust Conference. In 2001 the conference is planned for the 9 th and 10 th of June at the Naples Beach Club and Resort in Naples. Improved Tree Ordinance Web Site Guidelines for Developing and Evaluating Tree Ordinances, a Web site that assists local governments in developing tree ordinances, has recently been expanded to include new information. The Web site contains information that can assist local governments in assessing existing ordinances, determining community needs, drafting new ordinances, and evaluating new ordinance performance.
Sample text is provided that can be used in creating a wide variety of tree ordinance provisions.
The site now includes additional information on individual tree protection ordinances.
