Duddeck said she shares the residents frustration that bylaws aren't "truly protecting" the trees the way she'd like them to. Noting there have been situations in the past where developers have cleared trees without notifying the Town, she said more can certainly be done to ensure Oakville's canopy is preserved. The Town is in the process of reviewing the tree bylaws. Duddeck said the discussion would be raised next month at Town council. "It will be a complete public process not only with residents but the building industry as well," she said. Duddeck added the Town is actively taking suggestions on how to improve the bylaw.

Some of their suggestions include calculating diameter at the largest point of the tree instead of the breast height and having a maximum number of allowed trees to be removed without noti cation to the Town when considered in the context of a habitat and the impact their removal will have on the ecosystem they create. She's hoping more residents will voice their concern for protecting Oakville's green spaces. "The reason why we moved to Oakville is we wanted to be surrounded by nature and mature trees while not being too far from the city," she said. "It's not just about me, it's about having my children and their children reap the bene ts of the greenery around us." The Beaver tried to reach the waterfront property owner for comment, but he declined. For more information about the Town's tree bylaw, visit www.oakville.ca/residents/treesprotection-removal.html.
