And the primary characteristic that makes Roseland unique is its mature trees, a precious remnant of the original Carolinian forest. When a home owner, or any visitor, enters Roseland there is a very special feeling that you have almost entered a national park. The mature, majestic trees of Roseland elicit that feeling.
The environmental benefits of Roseland as an urban forest are also clear and must be safeguarded.
Sadly, there are several well-known examples of unconscionable abuse that has been exhibited by some home owners and builders within Roseland over the last few years. A tree by-law for Roseland is absolutely essential to protect against this indiscriminate abuse.
The success of private tree by-laws in municipalities throughout Canada is well documented. Our neighbouring municipality of Oakville is an excellent example of just one such municipality. It is long over-due that Burlington implement at least a trial tree by-law in one of its most unique neighbourhoods. That neighbourhood must be Roseland. Let's ensure that Roseland retains its special character for future generations to come.

These are trees which were not dead or dying but were removed solely for the purpose of severing a lot or potentially to make way for a new home to be built on an already severed lot. This is a tragedy, as it is affecting the historic Roseland canopy in a grave way for current and future residents. That said, if we had a tree by-law in Burlington, we would alleviate many of the problems we are currently facing in our neighbourhood regarding clear cutting of healthy trees on existing and/or potential lots, with the hope of garnering a severance or building a new home without any impediments. The character and charm of the Roseland community is taking a real beating at the moment in large part due to minimal, if any, restrictions and/or repercussions to those removing healthy trees for their own gain/development. I am completely in favour of a Roseland Tree By-Law being put in place as soon as possible.
