The City of Burien is actively engaging its community to gather feedback on proposed amendments to zoning laws designed to enhance the protection of trees on private property. These changes aim to safeguard healthy and mature trees, ensuring they contribute to the community's environmental health. Residents are invited to complete a short survey, which will remain open until July 31, 2022, to share their thoughts on these important regulations. The insights gained will be presented to the Burien City Council, providing a foundation for informed decision-making regarding these environmental policies. This initiative underscores the city's dedication to fostering a sustainable urban environment while promoting the value of green spaces for residents.

The council's review of feedback will take place in the fall, highlighting the urgency of community participation. By emphasizing tree conservation, Burien aims to create a more resilient ecosystem that benefits both current and future generations. For additional information and to access the survey, residents can visit the city’s dedicated webpage.
