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>
