The Municipality of Kincardine saw its new By-Law to Regulate Native Trees on Private Property come into effect this past Sunday, September 1st.
The goal of the by-law is the preservation of the Municipality’s tree canopy and rich vegetation through the protection of healthy, mature trees.
The by-law’s only exemptions of needing a removal permit is if they are already dead or injured, are an immediate hazard to people or property or if they are simply being pruned.
