Sussex County Trees Under Threat | Dover News
Description
Sussex County’s fight to save its forests is heating up as new rules force developers to keep 30-50% of trees on their land—except in designated growth zones. Residents rally behind the effort, calling it long overdue, while builders worry about space and costs. Conservationists demand mature trees be protected, not replaced, while some propose fees to fund off-site planting. With a vote looming, the county must balance growth with greenery—because trees aren’t just scenery; they’re vital for fighting climate change and flooding.
