Village Seeking Input into Tree Protection Bylaw
Posted on
The Village is reviewing options to protect trees on private property in Cumberland and is inviting community input.
To share your feedback:
- Attend one of the online presentations and Q&A events to learn more about tree regulations and options to protect trees on private land:
- May 17 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. Register here
- May 18 from 12:30 to 2:00 PM: Register here
- Respond to our survey by June 2 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CumberlandTreeBylaw
Findings from the community engagement will inform the recommendations for drafting a Tree Protection Bylaw, along with findings from the review of Village guiding policies, common approaches to tree regulations in neighbouring communities, and best practices.
A report recommending the approach for private tree regulation will be presented to Village Council in June 2023. Council will provide direction for the drafting of the bylaw. A draft of the Tree Protection Bylaw will be prepared and presented to Council in the summer.
