Urban Forestry

Yorkton's urban forest is made up of both public and private trees, and is of great environmental, social, and economic value. The urban forest helps clean the air we breathe, provides shade and cooling, breaks wind and noise, shelters birds and animals, and fosters a sense of community that contributes to our quality of life.

Requirements for the protection of the urban forest is outlined in the Urban Forestry Bylaw.
