[CANUFNET] Tree Management By Law Based on Lot Size

[Craig Bench via CANUFNET]

Hello Everyone,



I would like to inquire to hear back from municipalities that have a Tree Bylaw that regulates tree removal on private property by focusing on Tree Canopy or Density? This would be a lot size based approach that would  require a certain amount many trees per lot based on how big the property is. Of course the tree number per lot would be determined by using some data from a tree canopy study to set some targets.



There are a few Tree Management Bylaws for municipalities with significant sized rural land that is currently under development but it would be very helpful to hear if anyone who is using this approach with single family residential properties as well. Typically there would be a diameter limit set in some regards and  provide property owners some flexibility to manage trees if they had excess amount of tree.One of the features of this approach would hopefully provide some balance between property owners that have lots of trees and those with very few with regard to responsibilities for maintaining current tree canopy goals.



A working group is currently looking at this approach, any information on who has a bylaw based on lot size, how it is working or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Craig Bench
