Virtual public meeting set for Windsor's urban forest plan

Windsor residents will get a chance Wednesday night to provide ideas on the City's plans to protect, maintain, and increase its abundance of trees.

The City is gathering public input on its first-ever Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP), which guides the principles surrounding trees in Windsor.

"The UFMP will be based on a detailed review of the current status of urban forestry in Windsor and identification of strengths, gaps, needs, and priorities for urban forest management in our community," read the UFMP page on the City's official website. "The plan will guide the City and its partners in responding to a wide range of challenges facing the urban forest, such as urban development, climate change and extreme weather, invasive species, and many others."

A virtual public meeting will take place via Zoom at 6 p.m. It will begin with a presentation, after which the City's project consulting team will take questions and comments.

To find out more about the UFMP, and how to participate in the virtual meeting, visit the UFMP webpage.
