Urban growth and development put municipal natural heritage features at risk. To address the removal of trees and woodland area for development purposes, City of Barrie has implemented an Ecological Offsetting Policy that establishes a consistent approach to maintaining a minimum No Net Loss of terrestrial natural heritage.
In this webinar, David Featherstone, Terrestrial Ecologist with City of Barrie, will discuss the Policy’s development and implementation, and share key transferrable insights for municipalities.
