Introduction
| Endowment Funding | Strategic
Plan | Additional Recommendations
Additional Recommendations
In addition to establishing a tree endowment fund, the Committee
recommends that the following ongoing components be developed:
DEVELOP AND ADOPT A COMPREHENSIVE TREE PROGRAM
This component would formalize and expand the existing efforts
within the Forestry Division, including an establishment of tree
planting priorities, comprehensive assessment of existing inventory,
articulated plan of future plantings and ongoing maintenance.
DEVELOP AN EDUCATION AND AWARENESS PROGRAM
Successful tree program models incorporate community involvement
and awareness. These models sustain public interest and awareness
of trees and their importance to the beauty and health of the
City and its neighborhoods. Awareness programs are fun, wide-ranging,
and community based, involving schools, neighborhood groups and
service organizations.
ESTABLISH A TREE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The City Council should appoint a tree advisory committee. The
Committee's responsibility would be to help develop, promote,
evaluate, and sustain on-going education and awareness efforts
concerning tree planting and maintenance programs in the Forest
City. The committee would not have policy or management authority.
