Huntington Chapter 168 (Tree Preservation) regulates trimming of protected trees. Street trees along Town rights-of-way cannot be pruned without Highway Department authorization.
Chapter 168 of the Town Code establishes strong tree preservation. Trees on Town property or within the public right-of-way are maintained by the Highway Department; private pruning or topping of these trees is prohibited. On private property, routine trimming for maintenance is allowed, but significant cutting of protected specimen trees (generally 6 inches DBH and larger on certain parcels) may require a permit. Commercial tree services must be licensed by the Suffolk County Department of Consumer Affairs.
Chapter 168 violations include fines per tree damaged or improperly pruned; replacement trees may be required.
