Tree canopy a top concern continued from p.5 need to litigate them. I will negotiate with them (developers). I will get your needs done and I will get their needs done at the same time. It's a simple solution," said Brennan. To preserve Oakville's tree canopy in Ward 3, Pask proposes a re-launching of a boulevard tree-planting program. Local council hopeful Mike Cunningham called for a balanced approach and said the Town should plant more trees on public land. Danter noted if trees continue to be removed, the Town won't reach its tree canopy goal by 2057. "We need to ensure the developers, to a certain extent, have some responsibility and they don't come in and just wipe out a whole lot of trees," said Danter. While Brennan is "all for" saving the trees, he said the problem -- particularly with the emerald ash borer -- is the $32 million the Town is spending on it. He echoed Pask's plan for a reintroduction of a boulevard treeplanting initiative. Burton touted the Town's efforts "on a number of fronts" to reach its target of 40 per cent tree canopy by 2057. He noted Oakville's private tree-protection bylaw is achieving a 135 per cent replacement rate for lost trees. "We put the 40 per cent target in our Official Plan and we're now able to require developers to replace and even increase the tree canopy where they go in and take trees out," said Burton. "We have tree-planting standards for all new builds where trees must be given 30-cubic metres of good, quality soil, which allows them to flourish."
