[CANUFNET] recent boundary tree decision in Ontario Superior Court

[Craig Bench]

Seeing as the decision refers to the Ontario Forestry Act, I wonder what effect this has in BC?  We don’t have any similar, provincial level tree regulation, do we?

It's Ok to print this email. Paper comes from a biodegradable, recyclable, renewable resource - trees. Making forest products from sustainably managed forests results in jobs for thousands of people, clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat and carbon storage.



"If wildness can stop being (just) out there and start being (also) in here, if it can start being as humane as it is natural, then perhaps we can get on with the unending task of struggling to live rightly in the world—not just in the garden, not just in the wilderness, but in the home that encompasses them both." (Cronon, 1995)

“Introduced plants, animals, and pathogens often pose an initially hidden but eventually monumental problem...Their harmful effects are often subtle and surreptitious, but
the eventual impacts on the economy or natural environment are no less real, and [are] often disastrous and even irreversible.” (Daniel Simberloff, 1996)

Hi,

You might be interested in this recent Ontario Superior Court decision regarding a boundary tree in Toronto. Also attached is a press release from two of the people involved in the case.

I plan to write an article about this for Ground: Landscape Architect Quarterly and would very much like to hear from anyone with comments on the decision. Please feel free to get in touch with me off-list.

Cheers,
