Urban Forest Master Plan

Excerpts from Published Works…

The City of Tallahassee completed an Urban Forest Master Plan in 2018. The plan is a guide for the future of our community’s tree canopy, to improve this vital city asset as our community grows and changes in the coming years.

Improvements to the quality of our canopy are necessary in order to continue to enjoy extensive tree canopy into the future, however, even with high populations of less desirable species it is important to emphasize that a dense tree canopy is still a major asset. While we put a focus on recomposition, we should continue to prioritize maintaining a high level of canopy through strong planting programs and development regulations that focus on the right kinds of trees, properly planted.
