What
are Tree Conservation Areas (TCA)? Where can they be found?
As the name suggested, these areas are designated as lands for tree
conservation and are legislated in the Preservation of Trees Order
of the Parks and Trees Act. The latest revised edition 1998, printed
for the Government of Singapore by the Government Printers, is available
at $5 each.
