Sonoma County continues drafting language for proposed ordinance on removing trees

The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors inched closer to finalizing a proposed tree protection ordinance at its regular meeting this week, months after trying to craft new regulations to require permits for the removal of certain trees. 

The meeting also served as a public hearing to get feedback from residents and stakeholders, some of whom urged the board to both pass the regulations and others who want more flexibility in the local law.
