What we do across Champlain Township

Before a tree comes down in Champlain Township

Champlain Township is in Prescott and Russell, 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.

Champlain Township: local facts that matter for trees

Champlain Township was formed in 1998 from Vankleek Hill, L'Orignal, West Hawkesbury and Longueuil (source). It holds some of the oldest streets in eastern Ontario: L'Orignal's court house dates from 1825 (source) and Vankleek Hill is known for its Victorian brick homes. Old trees beside old buildings mean careful, piece-by-piece removals.

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.
