<p>Well now, I know that some Montrealers like to be part of an
underground movement, but maybe in boroughs not burrows.</p>
<p>It is quite an image - les urban forestieres scurrying around
underground in burrows, popping up here and there to manage the
trees :)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In all urban areas the problem is exacerbated because urban
planners and engineers leave no room for trees. So, until there is
a more viable land base where we can grow trees, this will always
be an issue. Change the urban design paradigm to allow for more
land set aside for trees!<br>

Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Montreal, when burrows were legal municipal entities, all
had bylaws depending on the amounts of parks, their use and
value of the residential realty. Westmount, Outremont, Town of
Mont Royal, the Golden Mile and some Garden cities were ahead in
applying innovative methods of green protection and city scapes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As cities went into a major fusion to become almost an entire
city island, many new protection initiatives have been put in
place with the fusion, 2005 was the year marking urban forestry
Best practices with new bylaws. The Mount Royal heritage has its
own protection plan as it is a emblematic parc. But for other
burrows, there is a fifteen year gap in restoring, updating or
renewing street tree project. In highly densely populated
burrows, no new plans, street trees are replaced in the same
manner as planted 40/50 years ago, the same small rectangular
pitch. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In residential areas, Street corners are treated with new
approaches but not as many tall trees have space. The approach
is for citizen gardening take over. </div>
<div>Large tree removal is rarely appreciated for it’s wood mass
value unless it’s a remarkable speeches. Parc Jean Drapeau on a
historical island had massive cuttings of mature trees without
consultation. There is a lot of this happening with the greater
montreal TOD plan and the REM. All natural benefits are replaced
by economic rendering for the cost of these infrastructure.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The urban canopy will not have the same biomass, populations
of our Nordic zone will have less tree canopy per inhabitants
than in the past. Announces of planting trees are welcome but
the size of the selected mature height and spread are tailored
down because of vertical building density. The human scope for
major construction are trees just tall enough for two stories.</div>
<div>Montréal has planted massively in parc all over, the Emerald
Ash Borers are devastating street scapes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many boroughs (Park Extension/Hochelaga
Maisonneuve/Rosemont/Montreal North to name a few) have limited
their bylaw to propose, when issuing permit for tree removal, to
plant a high dimension indigenous tree if and when possible. So
Yellow Birch is coming back to town as alley or street trees
because they are tall trees.</div>
