We are in the midst of writing a guide to identify the importance of saving trees in the urban and rural areas of Huntsville and then providing recommendations as to things the Town and public can do to protect and maintain trees on private and public lands. This is instead of a tree cutting Bylaw or as background and education towards eventually going to a tree cutting bylaw. Looking for other examples of education programs municipalities have adopted

Chris:
If you google Edith George Heritage Trees you will find additional information.
The Ontario Urban Forest Council is celebrating our 50th anniversary this year, we started tree hugging in 1963.
The Woodland League, County Clare, IRELAND is now using our toolkit and a letter dated April 11, 2013 to the OUFC states, "Your wonderful compressive tool kit will not be used as a template for Ireland's first national Tree Protection Manual". Now that is one wonderful 50th anniversary present!
I would be honoured to come up your way and speak about this toolkit and tree protection on heritage trees.
