Licking County has no ordinance locking down individual heritage trees, but Granville's Tree Preservation Code protects large existing trees on development sites and steers builders to save specimens rather than clear-cut.
There is no county-wide landmark or heritage-tree registry, so private yard trees are not individually designated for protection. Granville, a Tree City USA community for more than 30 years, uses its Chapter 1184 Tree Preservation Code to require tree surveys that identify and protect significant existing trees during construction, with protection zones around root systems. The village's Tree & Landscape Commission oversees the urban canopy, the Preferred Tree List, and the annual Arbor Day program. Elsewhere in the county, significant trees rely on owner stewardship.
Damaging or removing a protected tree on a regulated Granville site during construction can bring fines and required replacement at the tree's appraised value. Private yard trees carry no such protection.
