    Warning:
    If you accept a tree make sure you hand over the ownership deed to your house to the City of Burlington. They will now control the value and what happens on your property, forever. Cutting a tree could cost tens of thousands of dollars in the future, if the City even allows you to cut it. If it prevents development of your property it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and up. I’d make a deal with the devil first.
    Read City of Burlington Tree Cutting By-Law for yourself. Then decide or talk to someone to find out what they had to do to remove a tree from THEIR property.
