TREE ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Town of Ulysses Tree Advisory Council gathered in Jacksonville Park on Swamp College Road to tend to swamp white oaks that were planted on a previous Arbor Day with a grant from the NYSUFC. According to resident and NYSUFC Board Member Andy Hillman, “It was a cleanup Arbor Day, replacing plants that didn’t make it. We also planted winterberries for the birds!”
“They augmented a group of winterberries that were planted previously on the first Arbor Day after the start of the Pandemic — that day, we stayed a shovel distance apart and some wore masks outdoors.”
“This year, the Tree Advisory Council met beforehand to discuss the Town’s newly acquired old growth forest remnant, Smith Woods, and our role as stewards of this rare natural resource.”
The Tree Advisory Council was established by a local law in 2021 "In order to foster responsible planting, maintenance, or removal of trees or shrubs in the Town of Ulysses so as to promote and protect the welfare of citizens of the Town".
