By-law No. 14-212 of the City of Hamilton, whose own general provisions name it the Urban Woodland Conservation By-law. It applies to trees in a woodland on private property inside the urban boundary, and sets the permit path the director administers: application, grounds for refusal, conditions such as replanting and a written undertaking, and an appeal to the planning committee and then council. Basal area, diameter breast height and the silvicultural guide for managing southern Ontario forests carry its measurements. Hamilton's public-property counterpart is By-law 15-125.
