The purpose of this chapter is to protect native trees and native woodlands within the Village by regulating and limiting their removal in order to safeguard their benefits for this and succeeding generations. The protection and regeneration of native trees will promote the repair of ecologically disturbed native woodlands and the gradual restoration of the native woodlands once prevalent throughout the Village. The intent of this chapter is to accomplish the purposes set forth herein while ensuring that property owners can continue to enjoy a reasonable return on their properties and are provided the maximum latitude to use their parcels for purposes not inconsistent with these regulations. Periodic review of these regulations should be undertaken by the Village to evaluate whether this intent is being realized. (Ord. 18-03-05, 3-6-2018)
