Emerald Ash Borer is present on the BNAC property. We have lost many tree. In response, we are putting efforts in to maintaining the health of other trees in the park such as Basswood, Maple, Oak, Cottonwood, and Elder. One of our projects involves the trimming of wild grapevines. These vines can choke trees if not controlled. It is a yearly task that has been successful in save many trees.
We have a smoke-free policy for all Town of West Seneca owned parks, playgrounds and property.
