Tree Cutting Permit
The Town of Bracebridge is committed to protecting and supporting trees on both public and private lands to enhance our community and natural eco-system. Depending on the location of your property, the removal of trees may subject to the Town's Tree Cutting By-law and a Tree Cutting Permit may be required.
Generally, if your property is within the urban or near urban areas of Bracebridge or within 60 m of the waterfront, the Tree Cutting By-law should be consulted prior to removing any trees.
The Downtown Urban Tree Management Plan established the condition of trees on public property in the urban core and made recommendations for tree health improvement or hazard removal.
The Town plants about 30 trees on public property each year to replace fallen, hazardous or dead trees. Most of the planting takes place in the fall.
