Tree Ordinance
Trees help provide clean air, clean water, beauty, and habitat for wildlife in Sonoma County. However, trees are being damaged or killed from climate change, development, fire and disease.
The County is considering expanding tree protections. On a small number of projects where native trees with trunks over 6” across are removed, the Tree Protection Ordinance requires owners who remove trees to plant trees or pay for the county to plant trees.
The county is considering whether to expand tree protections and would like to better understand your tree protection priorities.
