Urban Forestry Management Plan, Comprehensive Planning info here www.greshamoregon.gov/udp/comprehensive-planning

Purpose

The Urban Forestry Management Plan (Forestry Plan) project will evaluate urban forestry issues in Gresham and then develop a comprehensive, sustainable and integrated approach to tree management on both public and private property. Gresham’s urban forest is a complex system of trees and smaller plants, wildlife, associated organisms, soil, water and air that make up the green infrastructure within the city. While the primary scope of the Forestry Plan will focus on trees that are along streets and trails, around property, on buttes, and within parks and natural areas; it is also understood that woody shrubs and groundcover communities are an integral part of a healthy urban forest.

The Forestry Plan will assess urban forest health that includes urban tree canopy size, location, diversity and number of trees. The project will identify best management practices and effective outreach strategies
