MAMARONECK, NY (June 13, 2025) — The Village of Mamaroneck is launching its 2025 Heritage Tree Hunt, inviting residents to nominate remarkable trees for the Village’s Registry of Heritage Trees. Nominations are open from June 1 to September 30, 2025, for trees that stand out due to their age, size, rarity, or historical significance.
A Heritage Tree is defined as a non-invasive species that is either remarkably old, large, rare, unusual, or endangered, or one that commemorates a historic event. Eligible trees can be located on Village property, such as parks or streets, or on private property within Mamaroneck’s boundaries.
Residents are encouraged to identify trees and submit nominations by completing a form available on the Village’s website and emailing it with a photo to TreeCom@vomny.org by September 30. The form requests details such as the nominator’s name, email, phone number, the tree’s address, species (if known), estimated diameter at chest height, and whether it is a Village or private tree.
Selected trees will be added to the Village Registry as part of the Class of 2025 Heritage Trees. The Village’s Tree Committee will present a Certificate of Recognition to each person who contributes a tree to the registry.
