Overview

The City of Richmond Hill's terms of reference for an Arborist Report and Tree Inventory & Preservation Plan, last updated May 2025 and reviewed by the Park and Natural Heritage Planning section. It lists accepted arborist qualifications, the applications it may accompany, from official plan amendments to minor variances and site alteration permits, and the report's contents: vegetation inventory, impacts and mitigation, recommendations. Tables give replacement tree ratios and minimum tree protection zones by trunk diameter, and drawing contents are itemized. It cites the Private Tree Preservation By-law.
