Perth County Council has enacted By-Law 3557-2016 for the purpose of improving the forest, soil, fish, wildlife and water resources in Perth County by conserving and improving the woodland and woodlots. This by-law prohibits the destruction or injury of any living tree located in a woodlot or woodlands within the County as defined by the by-law.
Any property owner planning to destroy or injure trees in Perth County woodlands or woodlots shall file a Notice of Intent as detailed in the by-law. Failure to do so will result in a "Stop Work Order" being issued and anyone who contravenes the by-law is guilty of an offence and is liable for the associated fine of up to $100,000.
Any questions in regards to this by-law or the destruction or injury of trees should be directed to Marvin Smith, By-law Enforcement Officer, Perth County at 519-291-2236.
Additional information can be found on the County’s “Planning and Development” page under the “Forest Conservation” pull-down tab.
