Tree cutting permit VictoriavilleSince trees are living and precious beings, as much for humans as for the environment, the City of Victoriaville has established certain provisions to regulate their planting, maintenance and felling. Each year, the City also raffles off 300 trees that it offers free of charge to its residents, and the Environment Department gives a tree to owners of new residential buildings.
Tree pruningCareful pruning of trees by a professional arborist promotes plant health and safe development. This intervention must be carried out according to specific standards and techniques so as not to harm the well-being of the trees. For example, it must be carried out at an appropriate time of the year, which varies according to the species of tree. If branches must be cut to free up the space around electrical wires, Hydro-Québec must be contacted before the intervention. When less than 30% of the top is pruned, no permit is required. When more than 50% of the crown is cut, the operation is considered to be topping and is illegal. In this situation, it is advisable to find out if the tree is eligible for felling.
