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.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>In residential areas, Street corners are treated with new approaches but not as many tall trees have space.

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.
