The regulation clearly defines special tree criteria and what a tenure holder must do if they discover one. There are a few exceptions and also a provision for an exemption to be granted under specified circumstances. Also, note that the Admin Orders & Remedies Regulation was amended to provide for a maximum $100 fine for not contravening the STP regulation.
