13 Reasons for long range planning Sharing information Develop a core that shares the vision Improve policies & procedures Urban Forest Public Works Planning The Public
14 Reasons for long range planning Sharing information Develop a core that shares the vision Improve policies & procedures Change the perspective on trees Trees have environmental value Trees as part of the infrastructure Assert proper forest management
15 Reasons for long range planning Define the urban forest in an Agency s hierarchy Declaration of its value
16 Reasons for long range planning Define the urban forest in an Agency s hierarchy Declaration of its value Quantify the environmental benefits of the forest Identify policy applications for different departments Planning Public Works & Utilities Risk Management Upper Management
17 Reasons for long range planning Revise and update policies and procedures Define Best Management Practices Delegate responsibility to individual departments Match policies with responsible positions Planners Architects & Engineers Street Maintenance Supervisors & Utility Managers Decision makers Community Leaders Boards & Commissions City Council
18 Developing a Long Range Plan Design Community Peers Urban Forester Tree Board Internal Staff Community Stakeholder
19 Developing the Long Range Plan Tree Inventory How many trees? How old is the forest? What is the remaining life span of the trees? What species do we have? What are the threats to those species? What are the environmental benefits of the forest? Time to analyze the data
20 Community outreach Citywide community workshops 30,000 door hanger questionnaires On-line survey
21 Community Workshops
22 Table Discussion Groups

43 Species selection Retain existing species Avoid using trees in the Top 15 Look for opportunities to introduce new species Fill in vacancies between palms Select species that establish after 3 years Consider the environmental value
44 Changing the existing conditions Proposed future infrastructure improvements Expand tiny parkways Plant trees behind monolithic curbs Create green streets Tree well cut outs Special Urban Forest Improvement Projects GHG tree planting EXPO Lite Rail
