<p class="MsoNormal">The Private Tree Removal By-law in the Town of Oakville regulates the removal of any private tree having 15 cm. DBH and greater. Dead trees, ash trees, buckthorn, high-risk trees and imminent risk trees, confirmed by Town staff, are exempt
from the by-law.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The application for the removal of the remaining trees will be either denied or approved with tree replacement condition. The ratio of the replacement to removal is 1 tree for every 10 cm. diameter of the trees that has been permitted to
be removed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The replacement trees must be planted within the private property unless there is no room for replacement, confirmed by the Town. In this case the tree security deposit will be used to plant trees on public property.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recently, one of the Resident’s Association in Oakville inquired about the possibility of financial support/grant or subsidized program for the tree replacement, when it is the condition of a tree removal permit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Oakville we do not have such program. I am wondering if you know any Municipality in Canada that has any financial assistance/ grant program or subsidized tree planting for the applicants who applied for the removal of their private
trees and must plant in lieu of tree removal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate your response.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
