Origin

(January 27, 2021) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned ravine tree located at 17 Langmuir Crescent. The application indicates the reason for removal is that the tree drops large quantities of nuts making the rear yard unusable.

 

The subject tree is a black walnut (Juglans nigra), measuring 97 cm in diameter. The Ravine and Natural Feature Protection By-Law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
