What we do in Bourget

Before a tree comes down in Bourget

Bourget is in the City of Clarence-Rockland, outside the City of Ottawa, so Ottawa's tree by-law does not apply here. Rules vary from one municipality to the next, so we check before taking down a tree near a road or municipal land.

Anywhere in Ontario, a tree whose trunk grows across the property line belongs to both neighbours (section 10 of the Forestry Act), and both must agree before it comes down.

Bourget: local facts that matter for trees

Larose Forest, just south of the village, is more than 10,000 hectares of mostly planted forest. It began in 1928, when red pine was planted to hold down blowing sand on land cleared and farmed out in the 1800s (source). Many Bourget lots back onto pine and mixed bush, so tall conifers close to houses, sheds and power lines are a common call here.

In Clarence-Rockland, a City permit is needed to cut a front-yard tree on certain listed roads inside the urban and community areas (source). We check whether a property fronts one of those roads before any front-yard removal.

The emerald ash borer was confirmed in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell in August 2011 (source). It kills healthy ash trees as well as weak ones, and a dead ash turns brittle fast, so standing dead ash near a house, lane or road is worth taking down before it drops limbs.
