Tree Preservation Orders

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is usually made by a local planning authority to protect a specific tree or woodland from deliberate damage and destruction, such as:

• Felling
• Lopping
• Topping
• Uprooting
• Willful damage

A TPO can be placed on any tree and can also apply to woodland. It is commonly used for urban and semi-urban settings and for trees with high ‘amenity’ or ‘nature conservation value.’

As a legal tool that prevents harm from being done to trees, it helps maintain the amenity value that a tree offers. It also protects trees that have been removed without consent, with a duty to replant them.

The Importance of TPOs

New Orleans is famous for its historical districts, national parks, and forests.

Local governments have created tree preservation districts intended to protect the existing tree canopy and facilitate tree maintenance and the planting of trees.

An example is the Metairie Ridge preservation district that fulfills tree preservation methods such as:

• Facilitating related urban forestry activities in the district
• Adding aesthetic appeal
• Maintaining
• Increasing comfort and property values
• Generally, improving the quality of the environment

Hence, a TPO in New Orleans can benefit not only the community but the environment as a whole.

When a TPO is in place, it provides:

• Legal basis for a council to prosecute people who ignore tree protection orders, where fines can be significant.
• Planning decisions for proposed development projects to ensure that the public knows that the construction company is fully aware of any threats to trees as part of the consultation process.
• Records on local authority registers help build a vital picture of the various species of trees across the country.

We honor Tree Protection Orders in New Orleans; hence, you are assured that we will help you protect your trees.

With our tree preservation services, you will continue to enjoy the benefits of having healthy, growing trees on your property.
