FORESTRY OPERATIONS Urban Forest Management Plan
The City has developed an Urban Forest Management Plan to guide the sustainable management of Vaughan’s urban forest resource for the next 20 years. As part of this plan, a Woodland Management Strategy was also developed to guide the management of all City-owned woodlands. The Urban Forest Management Plan includes: • information on the current state of Vaughan’s urban forest. • a long-term vision to manage the urban forest. • goals, recommendations and targets to achieve the vision. • a financial analysis to guide implementation. Vaughan’s urban forest includes all the trees, vegetation, soils and ecosystem components within the City’s municipal boundary. It also includes all trees growing in Vaughan, such as City-owned street trees, park trees, natural woodlands and trees on private land in urban and rural areas.
