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

[Camilo Ordonez Barona]

Hello everyone,
On the topic of regulations and incentives to retain and protect trees on
private urban lands, some of you working on that topic may find this global
review of innovative approaches interesting.
If you don't have time to read the whole thing, take a look at Table 5:
just some food for thought for those involved in developing these type of
regulations and incentives.
Regards,
Camilo
