Street Tree Inventory

Street Tree Inventory underway

To identify the content of our urban forest canopy and take appropriate steps to protect this vital ecosystem, the City of New Rochelle has launched a comprehensive Street Tree Inventory. Over the next few months, the City’s consultant Arbor Pro will use GPS and Arborist expertise to perform mapping and data collection on New Rochelle’s over 20,000 urban street trees, with the ultimate purpose of creating a comprehensive forest management plan.

THIS WEEKEND

Summer Sizzle- Tusk group shot

Downtown Summer Sizzle 9/7: "Tusk" Fleetwood Mac tribute

No fancy tricks, no gimmicks, just five musicians recreating the music of Fleetwood Mac to perfection, with note-for-note renditions that no other Fleetwood Mac tribute on the touring scene today can come close to duplicating.

Summer may be ending but our Summer Sizzle concerts continue through September 21 with SoulShine Allman Brothers experience on 9/14 and Tito Puente Jr. on 9/21, part of Hispanic Heritage Day. CONCERT LINEUP

Mobile Shredder

Mobile Shredder at City Hall Saturday, September 21

Shredding personal documents serves a double purpose: to recycle paper, and to protect sensitive information against identity theft, the fastest growing crime in the nation. Residents can bring up to four file-sized (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential papers per household. Remove all large binder clips and covers. Papers from businesses, institutions or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected, as will any junk mail or newspapers.
