Project Overview
The City of Asheville is working on an Urban Forest Master Plan that will bring the community together to learn and share ideas about our urban forest. Trees and tree canopy play a critical role in all communities by reducing heat, improving water and air quality, stabilizing slopes, providing food and forage for wildlife and humans, and adding to quality of life for everyone. The Urban Forest Master Plan will provide a road map of community-influenced recommendations to support a sustainable, resilient urban forest that thrives into the future.
