The right way to do it is not by restricting cutting down trees, but by encouraging planting more. I bet a $100/year property tax deduction per tree would have the city absolutely packed full of every kind of tree you can imagine.

Old, large trees are not easily replaced. A 100 year tree is not the same as 3 or 4 trees that were just planted.
