Share your thoughts on agenda items 25-2009A, 25-2014A, and 25-2023A by filling out the Pinellas BOCC Comment Card TODAY before tomorrow’s 9:30 AM meeting. Let's stand together against the elimination of permits for removing healthy trees and ensure our community remains green and resilient. Your voice matters!
Sample Statement: I strongly oppose the removal of permits for the removal of healthy trees on residential properties. Regulations are in place that permit homeowners to remove diseased trees or those that pose a risk. Additionally, I am against lowering the fees associated with removing healthy trees. We should implement stricter measures to protect healthy trees, as they play a crucial role in reducing our carbon footprint from fossil fuels, which contribute to increasingly severe weather patterns. Pinellas lost thousands of trees in the 2024 hurricanes; rather than removing more, we should focus on planting new ones! Pinellas County Government
