Overview
The Town of Markham's Trees for Tomorrow: Streetscape Manual, produced under the Trees for Tomorrow tree planting campaign launched in May 2008 and linked from the City's urban design, guidelines and sustainability metrics pages. Aimed at site plan and subdivision applications and boulevard planting, its design guidelines cover the benefits and challenges of street trees, planting context, preserving existing trees and soil, species selection and spacing, and planting methods and materials, with appendices for species lists, technical details, landscape plan requirements, completion and inspection templates, and tree preservation requirements.
