I couldn't disagree more. I wouldn't live in a place that had a private tree ordinance, and I certainly wouldn't create or encourage the creation of one....
Municipal Foresters?

When I lived in Toronto they implemented one with some serious teeth. This after several developers destroyed some 100+ yr old oak stands in the midtown area. The worst of it is the bulk of the forest site wasn't developed. The trees were removed without need for a speculative project that only partially materialized after many revisions none involving the trees or issues related to them. What did end up on the part of the forest area that was developed was a parking garage. It really could have been redesigned.
The private tree ordinance gives sober second thought to building design and landscape consideration. It has brought a level of awareness that previously didn't exist.
Why so adamantly against it OTG?

I work for the Milwaukee County Parks, started out as an arborist. I've progressed to the operational management aspect of the parks, but arboriculture is my core, I still remain active doing siders. The Indy parks has a nice muni code and flora permit application. We used the permit when developing our vegetative management policy.

Just curious... Keith, was the first photo a Silver maple? And was it a Siberian Elm in the second photo?
Just curious... You municipal guys have at it.

First photo is of a Tilia americana stump that suckered.
Second photo is a huge Acer negundo.
Both are undesirable as street trees in my opinion. My city's population is 70% acer - One of the things I am trying to fix is increasing species diversity. I guess I am fortunate that I have no ash trees, and EAB is in the area. I have about 30 ash trees in my right of way out of a total population of about 7500 street trees (not including parks).
Five out of Ten of my trees is a Sugar maple or Black Maple. Another 20% is Red maple, Silver maple
, Boxelder and Norway Maple. Black maples are uncommon and very interesting:

They are very hard to tell apart from sugar maple if you are unfamiliar with them. Some people consider them a subspecies, but I do not from what I have seen.
