Have your say! Tree protection survey open for public input

For immediate release: February 23, 2022 - 1:00 pm
CY22-2883

Saskatoon’s urban forest significantly contributes to the community’s quality of life by adding character and beauty to the city, purifying the air and enriching the environment. The City currently owns and maintains over 107,000 trees within boulevards, centre medians and parks.

The City’s new Urban Forestry Management Plan, approved by City Council in 2021, recommends the development of a Tree Protection Bylaw to improve the City’s ability to protect trees on public property and educate the community about their protection.

From Wednesday, February 23 to Sunday, March 13, residents are invited to provide feedback on the development of a Tree Protection Bylaw for Saskatoon.

Tree Protection Online Survey

Visit the Tree Protection Bylaw Engage Page at saskatoon.ca/engage/tree-protection-bylaw to complete the survey.

Feedback from the public survey and stakeholders will be used alongside research from other communities to seek City Council’s approval to draft a Tree Protection Bylaw for Saskatoon. Engagement results and project updates will be shared on the Tree Protection Bylaw Engage Page.
