Redding promised four years ago to update its tree protection rules, but nothing has changed. That means developers can keep clearing trees under old, weaker rules while residents wait for stronger protections.

Impact analysis
The city could face higher long-term costs for stormwater, heat, and lost tree canopy, while developers save money by clearing sites under looser rules.
Developers and property owners who want to clear sites benefit from the continued lack of updated tree rules.
Residents who rely on tree canopy for shade, cleaner air, and stormwater control—and the city's long-term environmental health—are harmed.
