The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake was assessing the need for a Tree By-law to regulate the protection and removal of trees on private property within the Town’s urban areas.

We understand that through creating any such By-law, there is a need to balance the preservation and protection of trees and the greater good of the community with the need to respect the rights and responsibilities of individual property owners. As such, the Town embarked on public consultation to hear residents feedback, including whether or not they were in favour of this By-law and how the By-law would be created.

The Private Tree By-Law only applies to our urban areas. Please see the map below that depicts where the By-law applies. Niagara Region’s Tree and Forest Conservation By-Law (By-Law No. 30-2008) would continue to apply to the regulation of woodlots in the Town.
