<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt">I developed the City of Cambridge private tree bylaw based on the economic disincentive concept. It uses the trunk formula method to apply a value to any trees protected within scope of the bylaw;
anyone can get an approved permit if they pay the fees. While the trunk formula method isn’t the best fit for every situation, it is a reasonable standard that the public can understand and apply. The fees go into a reserve account which funds a tree planting
program operated by a local not-for-profit REEP (</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://reepgreen.ca/trees/">https://reepgreen.ca/trees/</a>)</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt"> that plants trees back on private property (no
funds are used for city tree planting). It applies to development and non-development scenarios. You can review it here:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Council has asked Halifax Administration to investigate options to incentivize tree retention on private lands scheduled for new development (subdivisions etc.). I am curious if other municipalities have conducted
a similar jurisdictional review that they might be willing to share, or have any experiences with private tree bylaws or other planning tools used to either incentivize, disincentivize or compensate for urban canopy loss in greenfield development?
