Urban Forest Plan
Summary of Phase 3 engagement
We have worked with our consultants to summarize the valuable community input we received during the structured Phase 3 engagement period from April 15 to May 15 into a Phase 3 Engagement Summary Report. All the individual comments we received during this period are included in the Engagement Summary Appendices. The Engagement Summary Report was presented to City Council on Monday, June 17 during the Committee of the Whole. The project team will consider all comments, along with input from Council and staff, when finalizing the Plan.
Find more information about the development of our Urban Forest Plan on the City website.
Draft Urban Forest Plan
Our draft Urban Forest Plan is available for review. This draft includes all the feedback our community shared with us through Phase 2 of the plan development. Your input will help us finalize Bellingham's first-ever Urban Forest Plan, which will guide how our community protects and enhances the trees and forests that make up Bellingham’s urban forest. An urban forest includes everything from street trees, parks and forested open spaces to trees on private property.
