In 2010, Langley City proposed a tree protection bylaw that would fine people between $1,000 and $10,000 if they remove healthy trees on private property with a 20cm or larger diameter. Due to public feedback, this bylaw never moved forward.
With hotter summers and renewed understanding of the critical services that trees provide in cleaning the air, cooling our cities, and preventing soil erosion, some people have suggested that it is time to revisit a tree protection bylaw. What do you think? Take my survey, and let me know.
