Trees <br /> <br />November 16, 2004 <br /> <br />Mr. Dan Collins <br />Martinsville City Manager <br />PO Box 1 t 12 <br />Martinsville VA 24114 <br /> <br />RE: Martinsville Tree Ordinance, Martinsville Agenda Item for November 23, 2004 <br />Dear Mr. Collins: <br /> <br />I am writing on behalf of Trees Virginia, the Virginia Urban Forestry Council. Each <br />community has different needs and articulates various ways to approach those needs. A tree <br />ordinance is one way toward insuring the health and vitality of Martinsville's urban forest. An <br />ordinance is one component in a city's "tool box" that will help foster and improve your forests <br />- their beauty and their function. <br /> <br />Trees Virginia supports the development of individualized tree ordinances that fulfill the <br />particular needs of that community. We encourage your, and the City's, efforts in bettering <br />Martinsville's urban forest. <br /> <br />Sincere regards, <br /> <br />Cliff Fox <br />President, Trees Virginia (Virginia Urban Forest Council) <br /> <br /> Trees Virginia ~ Virginia Urban Forest Council <br /> 900 Natural Resources Drive #800, Charlotiesville VA 22903 <br />Phone: 434.295.6401 ~ F~x: 434.295.1724 - Toll Free: 1 .g66.VATKEES <br />E-Mail: vufc(a3,ntelos.net · Website: htto://www.Tr~sVirginia.org <br />Experts Agree - Don't Top Your Tree <br /> <br /> <br />
