I would like to request that we keep tree protections in the UDC update.
Including thoughts about the Urban Forest in the Forestry Division's Master Plan
Update is great, but I want to make sure that there are enforceable codes in there
somewhere, to put some teeth into our protection of the Urban Forest. Developers
can brush aside guidelines and plans, cutting down mature trees at will, but codes arecodes.
