Before you remove a tree in Brooklin
Whitby requires a Tree Removal Permit for private trees in some places: woodlots of 0.2 to 1 hectare, Major Open Space, hazard, environmental protection, Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine lands, mature woodlands, areas with a Tree Preservation Plan, residential lands of 2.02 hectares or larger, and the Werden's Plan and Brooklin heritage districts. The Town says no permit is required when the wooded area is under 0.2 hectares, the property is outside those heritage districts and the tree is not in a Tree Preservation Plan.
Nobody may injure or remove a tree on Town property, street and park trees included.
Durham Region's Woodland By-law covers woodlands of one hectare (2.5 acres) or more. If you plan to cut trees in a woodland that size, you may need a permit from the Region. Removing dead or hazardous trees is one of the listed exemptions. Wooded areas under one hectare are left to the local municipality.
