If you are unable to attend please provide your feedback using the form below. The subcommittee is looking at topics to increase the tree canopy within the City of Lewes. The focus of the subcommittee is on trees on private property. The City of Lewes has regulations regarding trees on public lands and in the right-of-way (Chapter 177 in the City Code).
