Its green! Known around the world as the City of Trees The Urban Forest Profile It is estimated that the City of Toronto has approximately 7 million trees 2.5 million in parks and other public property Private property contributes approximately 3.5 million trees to the urban forest 0.5 million trees are growing on approximately 5,400 km of streets (i.e., within the public right of way) 2
3 Toronto Will Grow! The City will grow bigger The GTA is estimated to grow by 2.7 million people and 1.8 million jobs by 2031 (only 25 years!) 20% of this increase (537,000 people) is expected in Toronto Will It Grow Well? Our choices will determine how well the City will grow. Must integrate environmental, social & economic perspectives in decision making Quality of life, future investment & a healthy future are at stake Toronto can be an even better city when we see the connections and understand the consequences of our choices. Front yard parking, paved areas, curb cuts, utility repairs, density of developments, zoning, smaller right of way widths impact negatively on the urban forest. 3
4 Development and construction often impact negatively on trees. Inadequate tree protection may lead to: Soil compaction and crushed roots. Root loss through excavation. Trunk damage and bark removal. Branch breakage Injury to workers or property. Resultant wounding can lead to: Root and stem decay. Structural damage and instability. The City s Official Plan encourages preserving and enhancing the Urban Forest by: providing suitable growing environments for trees increasing tree canopy coverage and diversity, especially of long lived native and large shade trees, and regulating the injury and destruction of trees Toronto: Tree By-laws Tree Protection The City s tree protection by-laws are contained within the City s Municipal Code, more specifically: Chapter 813, Trees (Street & Private) Chapter 658, Ravine Protection Chapter 608, Parks Tree diameter is measured 1.4m above the ground. The diameter is used to determine the area to be cordoned off. These tree protection zones are the minimum allowable, larger is better. All paving should allow water to soak through. 4
5 Tree Protection Zone No change of grade. No excavation or trenching. No storage of soil,construction materials, equipment, waste or debris. No disposal of any liquids. No movement of vehicles or pedestrians. It is a no touch zone. 5
