North Yorkshire Council has a legal duty and
powers to manage the risk and to protect trees on the land that we
manage. This should be reasonable and proportionate to balance the
many benefits that trees and woodlands bring. Developing a county
wide approach to policy will provide Officers, elected Members and
all other stakeholders clarity on how this will be managed. The
report will present the Tree and Woodland Policy for
adoption.
