Whitby’s urban forest is made up of all the trees that grow on public and private lands across the entire town. These trees provide oxygen, shade, cooling, beautify the community, and so much more.
As our community grows, our trees could face challenges from urban development, climate change, invasive species, and more. That’s why there is a need to create an Urban Forest Management Plan now to help protect our trees.
The plan will outline a long-term vision for our urban forest and establish goals, targets, and maintenance standards for the protection and enhancement of Whitby's Urban Forest.
Have Your Say
There are two ways to help inform the Town’s first Urban Forest Management Plan:
Complete an online survey by Monday, June 24
Attend an in-person community engagement session being held on Wednesday, June 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Town Hall (575 Rossland Road East) or join virtually on Zoom https://zoom.us/j/96137367672 (Meeting ID: 961 3736 7672)
Opportunities to review the draft Urban Forest Management Plan will be available in late 2024.
Next Steps
Feedback gathered will be used to develop a final Urban Forest Management Plan to be brought forward for Council approval later this year.
