Urban Forest Management
in Action!
Beginning in Fall 2022, the City will launch efforts to update municipal codes that are key components to implementing the 2021 Urban Forest Management Plan. Tree codes are one tool in the City’s natural resource management toolbox that balance urban growth while preserving a vibrant, healthy, and sustainable community.
Check back to view progress on the current code updates:
Chapter 16.08 Protection of Trees and Vegetation
Chapter 12.24 Street Trees
