Tree Preservation By-Law to return to Council September 24, 2024

21 September 2024

The Tree Preservation By-law is scheduled to return to be reviewed by the Council for consideration on September 24. The municipality does not currently regulate or restrict the destruction of trees on privately-owned property but changes to the By-law would introduce regulations for tree removal on private property.

Currently, there are not any rules about cutting down trees on private property, but this change would set some guidelines for tree removal. It’s all part of our goal for a healthier environment, supporting our Healthy Environment Plan.
