Conroe protects heritage trees (24 inches or greater in diameter) under Chapter 102 (Vegetation). Heritage trees are considered irreplaceable based on age, rarity, size, and historical value. The urban forester enforces heritage tree protections.
Under Conroe's Chapter 102 vegetation ordinance, heritage trees (also known as monarch trees) are those measuring 24 inches or greater in diameter. These trees are considered irreplaceable based on their age, rarity, size, botanical value, and historical value. Heritage trees receive the highest level of protection during development. Removal of heritage trees requires special authorization and enhanced mitigation. The city's urban forester is responsible for enforcing the tree ordinance and determining heritage tree status. A pre-development meeting with the urban forester is recommended for any project involving heritage trees.
Unauthorized removal of heritage trees may result in significant fines and enhanced mitigation requirements.
