<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I like this “out-of-the box”, positive approach. This is something that I have considered as we work with homeowners to retain trees on City property (I only deal with public trees). I definitely think this
is worth exploring, but I expect it will be a complex idea to develop. We all know that urban trees offer monetary benefits. This approach would use development as an opportunity to highlight just that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Thanks for the comment. I too would like to hear from others if they are using that type of system – or want to try. It’s an idea that’s been tossed around, but I have not yet seen implemented.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m joining this conversation late but have a question for the group. Is anyone successfully employing incentive based approaches to tree protection and replanting as their primary Urban Forest sustainability tool?
Not the type of incentive realized by not being fined nor the type of incentive felt when one is trying to recoup their security deposit. I’m talking the “direct benefit to the customer” type of incentives such as reduced property taxes or utility charges
for sustaining healthy canopy cover and pervious surfaces or tree vouchers for new trees.
