Parks - Tree Removal or Damage

The City of Brampton's Urban Forestry team is responsible for the planting, maintaining, and removing trees on public property. This includes trees in Brampton's parks, open spaces, and boulevards/street trees. Members of the public are ​not permitted to injure or remove a tree on public property

The City only removes trees when they are dead, diseased, damaged beyond repair, interfering with City infrastructure, or if they are a problematic species. Once a tree is removed, the location is added to a tree planting list for the next calendar year

Possible Reporting Scenarios:

  • Requests for Tree Removal/Inspection
  • Unauthorized Tree Damage/Removal

Expected Service Levels:

  • Requests for Tree Removal: Inspections are conducted approx. 90 days from initial request

What happens after I report my concern or submit my request?

  • A Tree Inspection will be conducted, and the Inspector will leave a ‘Tree Door Hanger’ on your door to let you know the inspection is complete
  • The Necessary work or investigation will be scheduled for completion
