The Tree Conservation Advisory Commission is comprised of 5 Yorktown residents and 1 alternate appointed by the Town Board. Each member serves a 3 year term. The commission advises the Town Board, Planning Board and town departments on all issues involving the protection and preservation of the town’s trees and woodlands. It reviews Tree Permit applications as described in Chapter 270 in the Town Code. Yorktown has been a Tree City USA member as designated by the Arbor Day foundation since 2011. Arbor Day is celebrated the last Friday in April with a tree planting event. These trees are grown at the Willow Park Tree Nursery, located at Curry Street and Tulip Drive.
