Want to remove a tree ? CNV has a new tree bylaw

April 7, 2022 11:49am

The City of North Vancouver has introduced a new bylaw to help strengthen urban forest and increase tree canopy cover.

The Bylaw will regulate management of trees on private property in multi-family residential, commercial, civic, industrial, and mixed employment areas in the City. The City’s Tree Bylaw was adopted by Council in March 2022.

Key points in the bylaw include:

Trees at or greater than 20 cm diameter at breast height and replacement trees will require a permit for removal, even without active development taking place.

The new bylaw offers more clarity on enforcement, ticketing, and fees for service.

It has measures to mitigate ecological losses by requiring tree replacement and other environmental enhancements, including a requirement that at least one replacement tree be a conifer.

It will enable better collection of data on private property trees within the City, including information on trees replaced, protected, and removed for better decision-making.

Learn more about the new Tree Bylaw, tree management and protection, and tree removal conditions at cnv.org/Trees.

    More enviro police bs.

    Cedars and hemlock are found in great numbers throughout the North Shore. I’ve kept my 14 cedars as long as possible because I like them. Now the roots are invading the driveway, the drain tile and the foundation of the house. Not that these holy workers care. Pay Pay Pay because you are an evil human.

    20 cm trunk diameter at breast height is ridiculous. That’s a small tree. I wonder what the permit fee will be for removal? It’s just a tax grab and nothing more. If I lived in the City of NV (I’m in the DNV where a protected tree is 75cm in diameter), I’d cut down any tree on my property before it becomes “protected” and falls under the Bylaw. The lesson is … beware of unintended consequences.

    Well, by the time someone prunes back a tree to the ground level, its too late. Because of bylaws like this, I will come and remove trees for free, quietly.
