Resident Survey
As part of its review of Scarsdale's Tree Ordinance, your Conservation Advisory Council seeks to better understand residents' sentiment regarding trees, their maintenance, and removal. This single page survey should take no more than a few minutes to complete.
We thank you for your participation! Here is the link:

Who Are We?
The Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) is an advisory body to the Village Board of Trustees. The Council studies issues affecting the local environment and also maintenance of the Village's "natural" character. Issues may include open space, wetlands, trees, energy conservation, and other "sustainability" issues.
When Do We Meet?
The Council generally meets once monthly on Thursdays at 7:45 p.m. in a meeting room at Village Hall. CAC meetings are open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend with the understanding that guests can speak only when invited to do so.
NEXT MEETING: Meetings currently are dynamically scheduled. Contact us for more information
