VA General Assembly proposed tree legislation
The Virginia General Assembly committees are considering important legislation impacting trees. These include:
TREES: Support HB170 which would allow the "conservation during land development process" code to apply state-wide, not just in NOVA
TREES: Support HB459 which would further strength the current "conservation during land development process" code
TREES: Support SB461 (companion to HB309) to have Dept of Forestry to create a statewide tree canopy assessment.
TREES: Support SB121 (companion to HB459 above) which would further strength the current "conservation during land development process" code
