The Village of Flower Hill will observe Arbor Day 2018 by honoring the oldest tree in the Village at 9 am April 27, 2018.
VILLAGE OF FLOWER HILL CELEBRATES EARTH DAY & ARBOR DAY BY HONORING THE OLDEST TREE IN THE VILLAGE
On Friday, April 27 at 9 am, the Village of Flower Hill will celebrate its 4th Year as an official Tree City USA on Arbor Day by honoring what is believed to be the oldest tree in the village, an enormous White Oak estimated to be over 300 years old.
This historic tree is located on Mason Drive at the intersection of Dartmouth Road in the Manhasset portion of the village. The Village is nominating this tree to be included in the New York State Big Tree Registry maintained by the Department of Environmental Protection, as we believe it is larger than the existing white oak in the registry, thus making it the largest in the state.
We will be presenting a proclamation to Melissa and Chris Reale, on whose property the tree is located. They have been incredible stewards of this tree, investing thousands of dollars over the years for feeding, pruning and the like to maintain the good health of the tree. The Village of Flower Hill is proud to have them as residents!
We will also have a free tree giveaway at Village Hall. Please go to the garage area adjacent to the parking lot to collect your tree.

As Long Islanders we know first-hand the importance of safe drinking water and have made it our priority to protect our sole source water aquifers for future generations.
Right now, millions of residents of Puerto Rico are in dire need of clean drinking water following the devastation from Hurricane Maria.
My office is partnering with Long Island Cares for an “H2O for Puerto Rico campaign to collect bottled water for our fellow Americans.
We are seeking donations of drinking water in any form: jugs, bottles, canned, etc.
VILLAGE HALL IS A COLLECTION POINT FOR WATER

Mayor Robert McNamara and the Board of Trustees hereby invite the entire community to the grand opening of the Flower Hill Park sports wall and swings.
Cutting the ribbon will be Senator Elaine Phillips along with former Senator and County Executive candidate Jack Martins. Senator Martins initiated the grant that gave us the funding for the sports wall at the urging of then Mayor Phillips, who has followed through as Senator to make this a reality.
The swings have four bays that accommodate children from toddler and up. The sports wall is designed for use for lacrosse, tennis, handball and paddleball. With the existing play and climbing equipment and basketball court, Flower Hill Park is indeed a family recreation destination.
For more information contact Village Administrator Ronnie Shatzkamer (516) 627-5000 x104.
