Tree Conservation.?

Question

What are some tree laws for contractors. if you can please provide the source. I need to know if it is a state or federal law. 1st person with 3 sources and correct answer gets 10 points

Answer 1

Don't know about where you are but our's are mostly local, limiting the number of large trees that can be cut without a permit. Plans also have to go before the Planning Commission and Environmental Advisory Board for comment. The state and federal bureaucracies don't get involved unless the project is large enough to require an environmental impact statement or wetland delineation.

Answer 2

Recycle paper.

Re-plant a tree when you cut one

Use less products made from wood

Answer 3

Wow - That really depends on your local codes.  Some places don't care what you cut down, other places you need to keep a certain percentage of trees, while other localities require you to hire a botanist to cut down dead trees.

Answer 4

It depends where you live..in some area certain trees are illegal to cut down without a special permit..some trees are considered historical monuments (like the oak trees in California)  Also across the US, it is illegal to cut trees that have active nests in them.  Look up the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
