Background

Earlier this year, Council directed staff to prepare a District-wide Tree Management Bylaw to help responsibly manage tree removal and to maintain Mission’s tree canopy for the long-term benefits of the community.

We would like to hear from you on the District of Mission’s draft Tree Management Bylaw. In this consultation, we are looking for feedback on:

• Tree coverage objectives;
• Permit requirements;
• Replacement trees and replanting requirements;
• Enforcement and fees; and,
• General comments.

Your feedback will be used to revise the draft before it's presented to Council.

This survey will remain open from Sept. 16 to Oct. 16, 2020. Feedback will be shared with Mayor and Council at a future meeting, used to revise the draft bylaw, and posted to our website. Questions regarding the proposed tree management bylaw can be emailed to treemanagement@mission.ca.
