Your assistance is needed to help us understand how our community views our trees and vegetation.

The information gathered will guide the development of an Urban Forest Action Plan which will direct the protection and enhancement of our urban trees and aid in the creation of a sustainable city that provides healthy and nurturing places for people and our biodiversity.

One of the fundamental components of the urban forest action plan is to improve the connection between the natural landscape and our community.
