Plan, Policy and Procedure
The Urban Forest Management Plan outlines key principles, objectives and strategies.
The Corporate Tree Management Policy and Corporate Tree Management and Tree Reserve Procedure outline how the City ensures growth, sustainability, acquisition, stewardship, maintenance, protection and preservation of the City of Edmonton Urban Forest.
The policy also refers to three supporting guidelines that are used by the City including:
Tree Preservation Guidelines
Guidelines for Evaluation of Trees
Natural Stand Valuation Guidelines
- In most cases, the trees that line the streets and that grow in our parks and River Valley are owned by the City
- Call 311 to confirm if a tree adjacent to or on your construction site is a City-owned tree
- City trees exist in parks, along boulevards, natural areas - including our River Valley and ravines and tableland native tree stands and naturalized sites - all require our stewardship
