New legislation in Florida related to Tree removal and trimming!

5/31/2022

Ruling on tree removal amended

After succesfully petitioning the Florida government, Florida Chapter ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) successfully convinced the 2022 Florida Legislature to revise the state law regulating tree removal on residential property.

The legislation, SB 0518, was signed into law by the Governor and goes into effect on July 1. The Florida Chapter ISA sought changes to deliver needed clarity to ISA-certified arborists and Florida residents as to what was meant statutorily when a tree presented a danger and what documentation was needed by homeowners to lawfully remove trees from their properties.

Let's hope this makes home-owners aware the need for certified arborists befor hiring anyone to take down or over-trim trees without any knowledge.

Three trees that are removed as part of a construction or development project. Otherwise, a non construction related tree removal in Florida will set its residents back

Tree removal and trimming are important aspects of arboriculture and horticultural maintenance. Removal and trimming can also help protect against potential damage to structures or other vegetation due to overgrowth. It can help to increase the amount of sunlight that reaches other plants beneath the canopy. I found many interesting things from this site. Thanks.
