A smattering of revisions to the tree ordinance, which covers several municipalities in Liberty County as well as its unincorporated areas, were presented to county commissioners July 6. Commissioners reviewed the changes as part of a public hearing, but made no decision.

She told commissioners Hinesville has adopted the changes and Midway, Riceboro and Flemington also are expected to adopt them this month.
