Tree Preservation Plans in Edmonton
RootWise prepares tree preservation plans for projects where retained trees are part of the site strategy. These plans help clarify which trees are intended for retention, what impacts may affect them, and what preservation measures should be considered during planning and construction.
What is a tree preservation plan?
A tree preservation plan is a planning-focused arborist deliverable used where tree retention is important to the project. It documents retained trees, anticipated site impacts, and recommended preservation measures intended to support better outcomes for trees that are meant to remain.
When a preservation plan is needed
Tree preservation plans are commonly used when:
mature trees are intended to be retained
redevelopment is proposed on treed sites
project teams need arborist input during design
retained trees require documented preservation measures
tree constraints may influence layout or construction planning
What is included in your preservation plan
Depending on the project, a tree preservation plan may include:
retained tree review
tree condition observations
preservation priorities
anticipated site impacts
tree protection measures
preservation notes for planning and construction
supporting mapping or plan-based information
Why early preservation planning matters
The best time to consider tree preservation is before avoidable conflicts are built into the project. Early arborist input can help identify realistic retention opportunities, limitations, and protection needs before construction details are finalized.
