Village Board Reviews New Tree Planting Initiative Tonight

Sea Cliff, NY · June 29, 2026

Monday morning is heating up fast. If you're heading to the beach to catch a breeze, keep an eye out for the new safety buoys installed over the weekend.

📰 The Lead

Tonight’s Village Board meeting at 7:00 PM marks a significant step in the village’s long-term canopy management plan. Trustees are set to review a proposal for twenty new native species plantings along the upper avenues, a move designed to replace aging oaks and maples lost to recent storms. This isn't just about aesthetics; the plan includes a specific focus on "climate-resilient" species that can better withstand the salt spray and high winds typical of our bluff-side location. Residents have voiced concerns about sidewalk upheaval from root systems, so the DPW will also present new structural soil techniques intended to keep paths flat while letting trees thrive. The board expects to hear public comment tonight before finalizing the species list for the upcoming fall planting cycle.
