Significant or Heritage Tree Programs and Committees.Hi Cory.

Have you talked to Greg ward in Surrey, B.C. ?
In Alberta you should contact Libby Fairweather.
I will also bring your questions to the steering committtee of the Ontario Heritage Tree Alliance.

  FYI, 

  The City of Victoria is looking to expand upon our existing Tree Preservation Bylaw to include the protection and designation of Significant or Heritage trees within our boundaries. These would include trees already protected but more importantly those which would never meet the criteria of a protected tree due to their size.

  Any details around programs that other municipalities are providing would be much appreciated. 

  This could include but not limited to: 

  1. Grant programs for beneficial tree work for significant trees 
  2. Criteria used to determine if tree is significant or heritage 
  3. Is the selection done by municipality or committee made up of municipal staff and public 
  4. Are these trees added to Tree Protection Bylaws or left as voluntary designations 

  Thanks in advance,
