On March 22 a new tree ordinance for Clackamas County will have its public unveiling.

Residents and concerned citizens are encouraged to come to the Development Services Building, 150 Beavercreek Road, Oregon City, for an opportunity to speak and comment before the Clackamas County Planning Commission.

Each speaker will have three minutes of allotted time.

The entire ordinance is available online for viewing, as are talking points from the Audubon Society of Portland and the Tualatin Riverkeepers.

What are some of the key issues with this?
