Urban Forestry Urban Forestry is optimizing processes to ensure proactive tree maintenance within the city. The continued use of innovative technology, including a dashboard of all targets complete with year-to-date data on inspections, pruning and removals, has shortened timelines for maintenance requests, and increased resident satisfaction.
Forestry permitting and plan review Urban Forestry has improved the permitting and plan review process by moving it online to Service Vaughan. Residents and consultants can apply online and receive their permits through the self-service portal.
