§ 8178-7.1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Ventura County recognizes that trees contribute significantly to the County's unique aesthetic, biological, cultural, and historical environment. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide, reduce heat gain, and reduce stormwater runoff, thereby affecting energy use, climate change, and water quality. It is the County's specific intent, through the regulations that follow, to encourage the responsible management of these resources by employing public education and recognized conservation techniques to achieve an optimal cover of healthy trees of diverse ages and species.
