Introduction
The study describes the impact of construction on the health of trees and soil. The study describes changes that have been based on new audiences in the City of Guelph Tree Technical Manual. The major changes have been done based on the audience that needs manuals in the construction areas and the way to save trees when construction is done and maintaining the quality of soil. This can help in defining the way that should be considered for saving the tree from damage and ensuring that trees are saved that are wounded during the process of construction. 
Reason for choosing the manual
The manual is related to a good environment and it encourages investing in trees. It is important because trees are an important part of life and offer a sense of place in the community and provide many benefits on the daily basis. Trees are important for human beings as they provide a shady palace. This manual is important for recognizing the environmental sustainability that is directly connected with the economic and physical health of human communication. Plantation and saving trees are important parts for saving the environment and this manual has the purpose for providing standards, specifications and guidelines for protection, maintenance and presentation of trees as they can apply to construction and development in various contexts in the city. The document promotes best practices for management of trees along with standardization for tree related reports and plans. It promotes effective maintenance, enhancement and long-term retention of the tree canopy. 
City of Guelph Tree Technical Manual provides high priority for demonstrating to protect existing trees both outside and within natural areas. It includes pursuing the opportunity for tree establishment and canopy enhancement. The manual supplements and supports current policy of the city. It is important for managing tree lines, grass boulevards and trees that can contribute to the cultural heritage value of the district (Hossain (2018, pp. 391)). The manual comprises significant natural areas, wildlife crossing and natural areas. Protection and retention of existing trees is preferred to replacement and removal. It is important to develop alternatives and concepts that include use of creative design and new technologies for maximizing and supporting the preservation of existing trees. It can provide a recognized way along with appropriate compensation for the removal of the trees that can provide with the opportunity for creation of new green spaces and helps in enhancing the existing protected natural areas.  
The manual describes an official plan with detailed requirements for removal and protection of trees comprising urban forest. It includes ways for encouraging the protection of forest resources including trees, wooded areas and significant woodlands. It can help in encouraging integration of resources in the urban landscape. This is required for the preparation of developmental proposals that include development proponents that may be required for outlining the tree protection measures in prevention plan and tree inventory. It is important for addressing the feasibility for retaining trees and development of the protection measures that are required for trees during site construction and development. The manual includes the way for preservation and compensation process to review that can take place with the preparation and review of the preliminary development. It includes the consideration that is required for possible constraints for the existing tree that are placed in such activities for possible constraints that the existing trees may place in activities. 
New Audience
The guide should include information about the process for tree plantation during the process of construction. The construction of buildings, garages, sidewalks and roads can compromise the growing environment of nearby trees. The majority of trees are rooted at the location of the construction and 12 - 18 inches of soil are often extended beyond the edge of the tree canopy. Changing the grade includes adding and removing solid around the existing tree.
