Urban Forest Management Plans
Adobe InDesign
Trees on public land and private property collectively form the urban forest. The urban forest serves as part of the city’s critical infrastructure, which, like sidewalks and utilities, provides essential services that must be invested in and maintained. As such, a solid and agreed upon plan for managing the urban forest is needed to guide policy, investments, and effective management practices.
The Urban Forest Management Plans create a road map towards an urban forest that provides a multitude of benefits to all residents of Paramount, San Fernando and Huntington Park and is cared for in a way that allows the trees and the communities they serve to thrive. These plans were created with input from community members, guidance from the cities, and analysis of existing forest conditions and policies. Together, these insights informed recommended strategies to grow and sustain the urban forest over the next 50 years with expectation that the plans will be updated every 10 years based on progress made and changing community needs.
