The Urban Forest Management Plan Writing Tool
Urban Forestry South recently developed the interactive, web-based Urban Forest Management Plan Writing Tool to help newly-formed tree boards and/or municipalities new to urban forest management evaluate their urban forest program and develop a workable plan. The tool provides an explanation of all the components necessary for plan development and a variety of questions to help users think through the process of developing a workable plan. Additionally, the tool provides links to urban forest management resources and allows users to develop a customizable hard copy of the plan. To view this tool visit:
