States that after reviewing the existing County Ordinances regarding exceptional trees, their committee felt that protection of these magnificent trees needed to be strengthened. The current Ordinance only provides a penalty if a tree is removed or otherwise destroyed. There are times when trees are not removed or destroyed but may be substantially damaged by vandals. Also proposed is an amendment to allow a penalty to be assessed "per tree or incident" in recognition of places where a grove or stand of trees has been designated as exceptional.
