The County of Perth has a Forest Conservation By-law in place that regulates the destruction or injuring of trees. This By-law was enacted to help improve the forest, soil, fish, wildlife and water resources within the County of Perth by conserving and improving the woodlands and woodlots located within the County.

If a land owner or a contractor is considering a tree removal, they are required to submit a Notice of Intent to the Corporate Services Department. A Notice of Intent needs to be received by the Corporate Services Department at least five (5) business days prior to any destruction or injury or trees pursuant to Section 3 (2) of the By-law and at least twenty (20) business days prior to any destruction or injury of trees pursuant to Section 3 (1) of the County's Forest Conservation By-law.
