Windsor Urban Forest Management Plan

Windsor's first Urban Forest Management Plan!

The City of Windsor is developing our first-ever Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). The UFMP will establish a long-term vision, goals, and targets for the maintenance, protection, and enhancement of trees across the entire city.

The UFMP will be based on a detailed review of the current status of urban forestry in Windsor and identification of strengths, gaps, needs, and priorities for urban forest management in our community. The Plan will guide the City and its partners in responding to a wide range of challenges facing the urban forest, such as urban development, climate change and extreme weather, invasive species, and many others. Implementation of the plan will grow the city's urban forest canopy and ensure that the environmental, economic, and social benefits that trees provide are protected and increased for decades to come!
