Silsilah as-Sahihah 3508 — Sanctity of Makkah and Madinah

Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared Madinah to be prohibited in all four directions up to one barid, such that its trees should not have their leaves shaken off (by sticks, etc.) nor should they be cut down, except that a stick may be cut for driving camels.
