Place on the citys dedicated urban forest management strategic planning web site, release to news and social media outlets and workshop with City Administration and City Commission/Council. Ontarios Urban Forests: Call to Action outlines the current issues in urban forest management in Ontario, and proposes four strategic priority areas for protecting and enhancing the vital green infrastructure that our urban forests represent. An urban forest management plan is an essential part of any communitys toolkit. The UFMP should be supportive of ecological protection and conservation while encouraging proper and sustainable public access and long-term stewardship.
