What an incredible idea!!
One can only imagine the impact on development applications if there were incentive to preserve trees within the development envelope.
In general Tree Protection By-Laws for development are "negative reinforcement" paradigms. Developers find Tree Protection arduous, expensive and limiting of their vision/goals. (as a rule)
An incentive paradigm would be a "positive reinforcement" application of the goal to preserve canopy cover and significant trees.
I would be very interested to see if such a paradigm exists.
If not; a quick vision of how to deploy:
- Delineate incentives for preservation. Ensure they will, on average, provide significant ROI so clear cutting the property does not appeal to the developer.
- Determine the average cost to implement these incentives.
- Increase Tree Protection By-Law violation penalties to offset the incentive program.
It is still a "carrot vs. stick" model, yet one that is more positive in outlook and rewards those who embrace the vision/goal for Tree Preservation.
Keen to see other replies which indicate this has been effectively deployed. (The Ontario Managed Forest Tax Incentive would be similar, but lacks the urban focus)

Hi Everyone,
I am researching Canadian and American cities that have implemented incentive programs for retaining mature trees where infill is occurring.
I have found many examples searching online but thought I might get more in depth information if I asked industry.
Does anyone know of programs I should look into? Names of cities, links or keywords would be great.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
