How do communities protect their trees while supporting new development? This webinar explores how to design, strengthen, and implement tree preservation ordinances that balance urban growth with canopy goals. We walk through ordinance frameworks, compare stem-based and canopy-based systems, and discuss how to incorporate incentives that encourage preservation beyond the minimum requirements. Real-world case examples will show what’s working (and what’s not) in different communities.

You will gain a practical framework for ordinance design, lessons learned from case studies, and clear steps to adapt policies to local conditions. Following the presentation, there was a robust “after party” session of open discussion, networking, and deeper Q&A.
