[CANUFNET] Restricting Tree Height

[MDixon at tbhydro.on.ca]

Would love to see restrictions for maximum height for trees planted under 
overhead power lines but it's likely someone who is scared of tall trees 
and wind who made the initial call and, I'll bet that they are senior.

Making forest products from sustainably managed forests results in jobs 
for thousands of people, clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat and 
carbon storage.

Okay everyone, here’s one that I have never come across before.  Our 
corporate media person had someone contact them to see if we in Saskatoon 
were going to be doing anything about restricting the height of trees in 
our city.  They claim that some municipalities are already doing this.  I 
have never heard of this.  Has anyone out there heard of this?  I’d really 
like to know and some of the history behind this.
 
Thank you.
