The Town of Collingwood is seeking public input on the proposed Urban Forest Management Plan.
The goals of the proposed Urban Forest Management Plan include:
- Develop a vision for the urban forest
- Conduct an inventory and assessment of the current status of the urban forest
- Update the Tree Canopy Study
- Develop a 10 year strategic plan with goals
- Define objectives and actions based on information gathered
- Produce an implementation plan with dates and responsibilities
- Develop a monitoring plan with a matrix to check effectiveness and revise the plan as needed
The Urban Forest Management Plan has been built by the Town’s Parks, Recreation, and Culture Department with funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Thank you to all who attended and shared ideas at our Wednesday, April 24 Open House at the Central Park Arena. Open House discussion included the importance of the urban forest in the community of Collingwood, and sharing ideas for action on urban forest management.
We are eager to hear your feedback via these 2 surveys. We will be collecting feedback until Sunday, June 30, 2019.
