Tree Bylaw Survey - Phase 2
The City is considering options for updating Guelph’s Private Tree Protection Bylaw and we want your input!
The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. It is open from April 30 to May 27, 2024.
About this survey and the update
Through this survey, we want to hear what you think about the options for updating Guelph's private tree bylaw. We're specifically asking the community to weigh in on whether the size of tree(s) regulated and/or the size of lot(s) captured by the bylaw should change, and share their thoughts on a few other aspects of the bylaw.
The information gathered during various community engagement activities this spring, along with the findings of research and analysis, consideration of the local context and issues, and input from City staff will be used to help confirm the direction for updating the bylaw.
