Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the application for a permit to remove two (2) ravine-protected, privately owned trees located at 7 Edgehill Road. Removal has been requested to address concerns that both trees have gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) egg masses which when hatched could cause potential infestation to mature maple and oak trees on site.
The subject trees are paper birch (Betula papyrifera) measuring 46 cm and 25 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support removal of these trees as they are healthy and maintainable.
