[CANUFNET] Tree Protection

[Russell Eirich via CANUFNET]

Hi Michelle,

For the City of Regina we have the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy (RUFMS) and a forestry bylaw.  As taken from the bylaw this states as follows:

Protection of Public Trees
4. (1) No person other than the Director shall:
(a) plant a Public Tree.

(b) damage, disturb, prune or remove any Public Tree.

(c) attach any notice, bill, poster, sign, wire, rope, cord, nail or other object to or around any Public Tree.

(d) alter the grade level or drainage pattern in any manner so as to interfere with the access of water, air or nutrients to any Public Tree.

(e) remove or interfere with any protective barrier, structure or device on or around any Public Tree.

(f) commence or continue any work or activity which damages or interferes with the root system or upper structure of any Public Tree.

(g) construct any walkway, driveway or paving within a distance of 0.5 metres from the base of any Public Tree for every 10 centimetres of diameter of the trunk at a point 100 centimetres off the ground.

(h) construct, alter, demolish or otherwise carry out any work at or around any Public Tree without first having constructed a substantial protective barrier around such Tree in accordance with the provisions of the Urban Forestry Management Strategy Tree Protection Section.

I have also attached appendix G of RUFMS which further outlines tree protection in Regina.  All of these documents are posted on www.regina.ca<http://www.regina.ca>  as well.

I hope this helps.
Russell
