Abattage de frênes à Baie-D'Urfé

Did you know that the borer, a small invasive insect, can affect the health of ash trees, making them dangerous and requiring their rapid removal? If you have declining ash trees on your property, it is your responsibility to have them cut down without delay to avoid any danger to you, your family and your neighbourhood.

Certaines villes, comme Baie-D'Urfé, offrent des subventions pour aider les propriétaires à remplacer leur frêne abattu, afin de maintenir les bénéfices écologiques et sociaux que les arbres offrent. Les arbres procurent de l'ombre, de l'air pur, réduisent la pollution sonore et fournissent un habitat vital pour la faune.

Grants for cutting down your ash tree

If you live in Montreal and need to have one or more diseased or dead ash trees cut down, the City is offering financial assistance to replace them with new trees. The City of Montreal is offering a subsidy equivalent to $10 per centimetre of trunk diameter for each ash tree felled, up to a maximum of $4,000 per private property.

However, in order to receive this grant, you must agree to plant a replacement tree for each ash tree felled for which a grant is requested. This planting is done free of charge by the City of Montreal. The team of specialists will suggest a few species adapted to your property for each new tree.

This offer is a great value, as it costs approximately $300 to plant a tree. By accepting this offer, you can not only replace your diseased or dead ash trees, but also improve the ecology and aesthetics of your property.

Remember that trees provide many benefits, such as improving air quality, reducing noise, regulating temperature and creating habitat for local wildlife. So take advantage of this opportunity to plant new trees and contribute to the beauty and health of your community.
