Workshop: How to create an urban forest management plan

While urban forests are critical for a resilient and healthy community, it is equally important to have a deeper understanding of how to properly manage urban forests. A good urban forest management plan will bring long-term and sustainable benefits for your community.  

Join our workshop that will help you prepare a high-quality urban forest management plan. This 2.5 hour hands-on session will guide you through the key components of developing an urban forest management plan, including stakeholder engagement, roles and responsibilities and securing community buy-in.  

By attending this workshop, you will:

• Learn what baseline information is essential to collect and how this information supports the overall plan.  
• Set priorities and establish a vision for your community’s urban forest.
• Understand core urban forest management plan design principles.  
• Learn how to draft the key components of an urban forest management plan that is tailored to your community.

This workshop is ideal for municipal staff and local partners from Canadian communities of all sizes who are new to urban forest management and are looking for clear guidance, practical examples and a step-by-step roadmap to develop a strong urban forest management plan.

Join us on Thursday August 21, from 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET.

Register today. 

This workshop was created in partnership by Tree Canada and FCM’s Green Municipal Fund for the Growing Canada’s Community Canopies initiative, which is delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and funded by the Government of Canada.
