The proposed revisions to the Landscape and Tree Protection Ordinance put a greater emphasis on the protection and preservation of trees in Savannah. The new ordinance includes the created of a specimen tree designation, designed to preserve large trees on construction sites when possible. Fines for violating the ordinance will increase, from $200 to $2500 plus all incurred fees for remediation and loss of value. The incentives for property developers to preserve large, healthy trees will also increase.
