The second Access to Nature target is to plan 150,000 trees by 2020. That is a lot of trees. To guide the planting of all of these trees, we’ll need a plan.
Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan, as recommended by the Greenest City Action Team, which will include updating and incorporating existing tree management plans and regulations of trees on private property and a series of actions to realize the planting of 150,000 new trees.
The Urban Forest Management Plan would also include options for ecological diversity, such as under-storey plantings, wildlife corridors, and wildlife habitat.
Thank you for your input! The strategies and actions listed here are drafts. Read the final version of the Greenest City Action Plan.
Target 1: All Vancouver residents live within a five minute walk of a park, greenway, or other green space by 2020.
Target 2: Plant 150,000 new trees by 2020.
