The Island Now

Mayor Bral, I urge you and the trustees not to overreact to the alleged danger posed by trees in Great Neck. 

How many people have actually been hurt through the years by a falling tree? 

Our trees are one of our most precious resources, even more so since the storms of the last five years have destroyed so many of them. 

If a tree is declared safe by an arborist, it should be left alone, or trimmed as needed.  

A healthy tree provides shade for houses in the neighborhood (not just the owner’s house), and provides many benefits to the environment.
