[CANUFNET] Planting on private land

[Shelley Vescio]

I would like to thank everyone for the amazing response to my enquiry regarding planting trees on private land.  Now I have lots of food for thought. Much appreciated.

Subject: [CANUFNET] Planting on private land

Our small community, Gananoque, 5,200 pop, does not have an "official" policy on this, but, when a desired potential planting street site does not have enough land suitable for planting a caliper size tree, and there is a need for tree cover, we do plant on private land close, 1 or 2 M , to the street allowance property line. When this is done, the town assumes the cost of planting and long term maintenance. It is in effect a "town tree"  with the constraints that involves. There is no signed agreement but the land owner is consulted, asked if they wish a tree there, and if they accept they are told that the tree is a "town" tree with the constraints that accompany that designation. This is not a common practice, but over the last years we have planted perhaps 10 or 15. Locations for town plantings are recommended by the town Urban Forest and Trail committee volunteers.
