<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?
