  • Town Tree Cover in Bridgend County Borough
    1 Town Tree Cover in Bridgend County Borough Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Bridgend County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea authorities and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will

  • Tribal Element
    Tribal Element Three federally-recognized Indian Tribes, the Sauk-Suiattle Tribe, the Stillaguamish Tribe, and the Tulalip Tribes, occupy areas of present-day Snohomish County. These Tribes and their ancestors are a land and water based people, part of a larger group of aboriginal Tribes and First Nations known as the Coast Salish peoples, who live around the Salish Sea in what is now Washington State and the Canadian Province of British Columbia. The Coast Salish Tribes and First Nations have lived here since time immemorial, enjoying a landscape rich in natural resources. Coast Salish lifeways are tied to the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest, especially the Salish Sea. Today the Sauk-Suiattle, Stillaguamish, and the Tulalip Tribes are sovereign nations recognized by the United States government. Each Tribe has its own government with its own governing charter or constitution and set of general laws. These Tribes reserved lands in what is now Snohomish County as Indian reservation homelands. The Tribes have important historic and cultural sites both on and off their reservations. Each Tribe continues to exercise off-reservation rights reserved under treaty with the United States, including the right to fish in usual and accustomed fishing grounds and the right to hunt and gather on open and unclaimed lands. Snohomish County acknowledges the historic and present-day connection between tribal people and the land base, and recognizes each Tribe’s sovereignty. Snohomish County is committed to partnering with the Tribes to protect and preserve Tribal cultural and treaty resources, the natural environment, and sacred cultural areas. The relationship between these Tribes and Snohomish County is especially important when activities of county government, particularly land use regulation, have implications for one or more Tribes.

  • Role of Tabs-Cacs.Pdf
    ROLE OF TOWN ADVISORY BOARDS & CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCILS Town Advisory Boards (TABs) were formed pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 269.576 and Chapter 3.30 of the Clark County Code (CCC), and Citizens Advisory Councils (CACs) pursuant to NRS 244.1945 and Chapter 3.32 of the CCC, to assist the Clark County Board of County Commissioners (County Commission) in an advisory capacity with the decision- making process in supplying public services to the unincorporated towns and areas of Clark County. If an unincorporated town is established in a county whose population is 700,000 or more and is located 25 miles or more from an incorporated city whose population is 500,000 or more the County Commission shall, by ordinance, provide for the election by the registered voters of the unincorporated town of five (5) qualified electors who are residents of the unincorporated town to serve as the TAB members. If seats are left vacant on one of the elected TABs following the general election, the County Commission can appoint as many members as necessary to fill the vacant seats. The elected TABs in Clark County are Bunkerville, Laughlin, Moapa, Moapa Valley, and Searchlight. All other TABs and the CACs are appointed by the County Commission. All TABs must have five (5) members, and the CACs may be comprised of three (3) or (5) members. TAB and CAC members are subject to the Nevada Open Meeting Law (NRS Chapter 241) and Nevada Ethics in Government Law (NRS Chapter 281). Town Advisory Boards An unincorporated town means a specific unincorporated area within the county in which one (1) or more governmental services are provided by the county in addition to those services provided in the general unincorporated area of the county, for which the residents of such area pay through ad valorem taxes or for which other revenue is secured from within the area.
