City arborist Kay Evanovich said at a “Brookhaven 101” workshop that the absence of a tree ordinance could result in reduced aesthetics, lower air quality, loss of wildlife habitat, property damage and loss of life.
Sally Eppstein, left, and Tom Reilly, part of a consortium of neighbors, gathered at her home for a discussion concerning the city’s tree ordinance on Jan. 16. The group then looked at a tract being developed at Wright Avenue and Roxboro Road.
