In an effort to curtail stormwater management problems and protect the environment, Tredyffrin Township supervisors unanimously passed a woodland conservation ordinance to protect trees. The ordinance requires residents to obtain permits when removing trees, noting that trees protect air quality and provide health benefits. Violation of the ordinance will result in a $1,000 fine. “One of the biggest challenges facing Tredyffrin is stormwater management,” Supervisor K.S. Baskar said. “That is the result of years of development without ample consideration of stormwater, exacerbated by the intense downpours and storms resulting from climate change.”
