With area townships working towards their own version of a tree canopy protection / conservation bylaw to comply with orders issued by the province of Ontario, there is no surprise at least one will come up with what would almost appear to be an “anti-farming” one.
In Linda Vogel’s comprehensive review in the October AgriNews, she quotes an email from Kasia Olszewska, planner in North Glengarry, who states the bylaw is necessary as, “neighbours do not want the landscape to change.”
This comment is exactly why I have always told new residents that, if you like the view from your new house, make sure you buy it too.
The bylaw preamble also states in part, “it is desirable to enact such a bylaw for the purpose of regulating and controlling the removal and associated public nuisance— of trees and woodlots.”
