Sechelt's Urban Forest Plan
“To retain a vast, beautiful and bio diverse forest that connects communities, promotes ecosystem services, and supports the health and wellbeing of our community.”
Three Main Objectives:
1. To provide the District of Sechelt with strategic recommendations for conserving,
preparing and enhancing our urban forests for the future.
2. To educate Sechelt residents about the benefits of urban forests, relevant forestry concerns
and best practices for tree retention.
3. To increase understanding and support for our urban forests through community

Boundary Trees Shared with the District of Sechelt |

If you have a concern about these trees, think they need work or think you may share a boundary tree with us, please call (604-885-1986) or submit a service request.
The Parks Arborist will assess the trees and perform any necessary work.
Trees will be pruned for clearance, lines of site, safety, or to mitigate a conflict caused by branches or roots. It should be noted that pruning for aesthetics is not a level that the District can provide.
Undeveloped Right of Ways and Undeveloped Beach Accesses
District of Sechelt undeveloped right of ways are not routinely inspected and our staff will only attend to tree issues on these properties as they are brought to our attention.
