PETITION TO MANDATE BRUNSWICK COUNTY TO AMEND THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE TO BAN CLEAR CUTTING

     Clear cutting is a development practice that involves the removal of all trees in a given area leading to significant environmental impacts. In Brunswick County, this practice is currently permitted in the Unified Development Ordinance. 

      On 2/20/2023 Brunswick County Commissioners adopted Blueprint Brunswick 2040 including policies pledging to:

• Conserve the natural resources of the county

• Maintain the “green” of Brunswick County as development continues

• Maintain and mitigate the impacts of storm water run-off from development

• Hold private developers and other real estate developers to a higher standard

     The only way these "pledges" can be achieved is by amending or rewriting its Unified Development Ordinance to prohibit clear cutting - NOW

      As Brunswick County is experiencing rapid development, we urge residents who care about RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT to sign this petition which demands that:

     The County immediately pursue special legislation from the State to obtain the authority to enable the adoption of a tree preservation ordinance and the resources to enforce it.

     The County must also adopt a moratorium on development while seeking the aforementioned enabling authority.
