Proposed Private Property Tree By-law
The Town of Lincoln is proposing a Private Property Tree By-law as part of our ongoing efforts to grow and maintain a healthy urban tree canopy. The By-law aims to regulate the injury or removal of trees on private property, helping to preserve Lincoln’s urban tree canopy while balancing the needs of property owners.
The Private Property Tree By-law proposes to:
- Regulate the injury and removal of trees larger than a specified diameter on private property within urban areas
- Establish a permit process for tree removal and replacement
- Identify exemptions for specific tree removals
- Set compensation and replanting requirements for approved removals
- Support long-term tree canopy growth and environmental resilience
You are invited to attend the Committee of the Whole Meeting:
