Tree Protection

Trees regulate temperature, absorb C02, beautify our parks, provide wildlife habitat, increase property values, contribute to walkable neighbourhoods, and clean our water. These benefits become more prominent when a tree reaches maturity. Tree protection in the early stages of construction planning helps save both trees and property from potential damage.

The County of Brant’s Tree Protection Guide is intended to provide guidance, advice and direction for landowners and developers who are performing construction or development near trees and to provide an outline of considerations when preparing a Tree Protection Plan to be submitted to the County for proposed development.
