Description

The Public Tree Protection policy (900-19) was put in place in 2005 to manage tree resources across the city. It covers trees in city-owned areas like parks, public lands, and even private lands with special restrictions. Any changes or updates to this policy will be considered during the update of the Urban Forestry Program Plan.
