There is ample authority in the Second Department that the threatened removal of trees constitutes irreparable harm sufficient to warrant the issuance of a preliminary injunction. (See, Sforza v. Nesconset Fire Dist., 184 A.D.2d 631 [2d Dep't 1992]; McLaughlin v. Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc., 87 A.D.2d 812 [2d Dep't 1982].) There is no dispute here that the defendants intend to remove several large, old-growth trees to prepare for the other work they intend to do.
