TREES - PLANTING & PRUNING 

Trees give protection from wind for people and livestock, they trap snow and valuable moisture, and they provide a home and food for many wildlife species. Red Deer County has several programs that help County landowners plant more trees.

Information regarding Tree Removal on Private Property can be found under Planning and Development.
