2021 New York Laws GMU - General Municipal Article 5 - Powers, Limitations and Liabilities 96-B - Tree Conservation.

§  96-b. Tree conservation. 1. The legislature hereby finds that there   is a direct relationship between  the  planting  of  trees,  shrubs  and   associated  vegetation  in  sufficient number in populated areas and the   health, safety, and welfare  of  communities,  and  as  related  to  the   natural,  scenic,  and  aesthetic  values  of trees and the physical and   visual qualities of the environment which municipalities are  authorized   to protect. Trees and such vegetation abate noise, provide welcome shade   to  people, preserve the balance of oxygen in the air by removing carbon   dioxide and fostering air quality, and add color and  verdure  to  human   construction.  They  also stabilize the soil and control water pollution   by  preventing   soil   erosion   and   flooding,   yield   advantageous   microclimatic  effects, and provide a natural habitat for wildlife.  The   destructive and indiscriminate removal of trees and  related  vegetation   causes  increased  municipal  costs for proper drainage control, impairs   the benefits of occupancy of existing residential properties and impairs   the stability and value of both improved and unimproved real property in   the area of destruction, and adversely affects the health,  safety,  and   general welfare of the inhabitants of the state.2. In addition to any power or authority of a municipal corporation to   regulate  by planning or zoning laws or regulations or by local laws and   regulations, the local legislative body of any  county,  city,  town  or   village   is   hereby  empowered  to  provide  for  the  protection  and   conservation of trees and related vegetation.  Such legislative body may   require appropriate conditions applicable to any activity involving  the   removal  or  destruction of trees or the substantial alteration of grade   level around trees may include, where appropriate, requirements that the   activity be done as specified in an approved landscape plan and that the   removed trees be replaced by the  planting  of  the  same  or  alternate   species  of  trees,  and  may provide, in connection therewith, required   plantings for screening purposes. Such regulations,  special  conditions   and  restrictions, adopted in the exercise of the police power, shall be   reasonable and appropriate to the purpose.  The municipality may require   the posting of  a  performance  bond  to  assure  compliance  with  this   section.  All charges and expenses incurred under this section by a town   shall be a charge upon the taxable property of that  part  of  the  town   outside any incorporated village.
