Trees

The Town is planning to gather data on Halton Hills trees. This data may include a tree inventory to map the Town's urban street trees as part of an asset management strategy. The Town is also exploring other mapping technologies (such as LIDAR) to be incorporated into our GIS system which will assist in mapping trees community wide.

The Town will integrate the results from all available data sets into a tree management strategy which will include the recommended approach and tools (i.e. education, incentives, regulation etc.) to manage and enhance the Town's tree resources.

For more information on how the Town's approach to tree management aligns with other strategies, read the ‘Natural Heritage' section of the Integrated Community Sustainability Strategy.
