Emerald Ash Borer is present on the BNAC property. We have lost many trees. In response, we are putting efforts in to maintaining the health of other trees in the park such 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 saving many trees.
We have a smoke-free policy for all Town of West Seneca owned parks, playgrounds and property
