Questions
Federal law bans removing trees that stand outside forests, short-rotation plantations and gardens, and hedges and bushes, from 1 March to 30 September. Trees in gardens fall outside this federal ban, so check your city's tree bylaw separately.
Yes. During the 1 March to 30 September ban, gentle shaping and care cuts that remove new growth or keep trees healthy stay allowed.
Federal law lets protection cover the whole stock of trees, avenues, tree rows or hedges in all or part of a state, as protected landscape components. Removing or damaging them is then banned under the detailed rules, and a replacement planting or a payment can be required.
