Right-of-Way Tree Maintenance – Fitness Tree Services will be on the island next week to perform routine preventative maintenance on the Village’s rights-of-way. The focus will be on removing dead and dangerous trees and limbs along the Village’s wynds. No live trees will be intentionally harmed or removed in the process.
Free N95 Masks – Federally provided N95 masks are available at Village Hall, as supplies last. These supplies do not include child-sized masks at this time. Brunswick County Health and Human Services dispersed its full allocation of N95 masks to several of its municipal and senior center partners to improve access countywide. Learn more about N95 and other types of masks HERE. To learn more about where to find free N95 masks in Brunswick County go HERE.
