[CANUFNET] Does your municipality protect trees on private property?

[Mark Carroll]

Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, population 60000
Public Tree Bylaw and a Private Tree Compensation Bylaw.SCLERKS_KM_23060721000 (civicweb.net)
The Private Tree By-law is implemented by the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville to protect Private Trees, Mature Trees, and Heritage Trees. It applies to Private Property Owners undergoing Site Plan applications, Plan of Subdivision applications, and Consent applications.

Town of Georgina, Population 50000, they are working on a compensation Bylaw as well. Very similar to Whitchurch-Stouffville.
I have also attached all those Towns and cities that have some sort of Tree Bylaw in Ontario. This may help in your search for what else is happening in Ontario towards Tree Bylaws. I have collected this through my consultations with other municipalities.

 Does your city have a bylaw protecting trees on private property or have a permitting process for cutting down trees on private property? Edmonton's City Council will consider options very shortly and we are looking for statements from people in Canadian municipalities where there is bylaw protection for trees on private property or a permitting process for cutting down trees on private property. We need statements from municipalities where protecting trees on private property is working. What is working, why is it working?If you can support us in Edmonton by providing us with a statement, please email it to the Edmonton River Valley Conservation Coalition as soon as possible at <ervccinfo at gmail.com>
We are also seeking people who would be willing to register to speak to our Council members along with members of our group. Thank you!Wendy Allsopp
