As part of the NYSDEC Urban and Community Forestry grant program, Irvington received funding to conduct a tree inventory and develop a management plan for The Irvington Woods. The $21,360 grant funded the project which was completed in April 2022.
The 2022 Community Forest Management Plan (CFMP) for Irvington Woods is the first such plan developed by the Village of Irvington. Arborist Miguel Berrios of LBS Ecological worked closely with the Village of Irvington, its Recreation and Parks Department, and the O’Hara Nature Center to inventory the Woods and determine best management practices to improve forest health.
