Abstract
Local shade tree and environmental committees can become mired in a seemingly endless stream of site plan reviews. As one of their main activities, these committees review site plans for environmental concerns and proper tree selection, planting, and care. While they may make a number of appropriate comments to their municipalities, committee members realize that their contributions could be minimal at best, and at times possibly ignored. All too often these volunteers are powerless to voice their feelings, and even if they do it is strictly advisory.
