The draft plan for managing the city’s urban forest, Penticton’s CommuniTREE Plan, is now ready for review. Community members are invited to come out to Gyro Park on Saturday, June 15 between 9 am and 11 am to see the results and share their comments.
The plan has been drafted to with nine big moves help us reach the recommended canopy targets for the expansion and maintenance of our urban forest over the next 20 years. It outlines four different scenarios, including a recommended scenario to show how canopy cover will likely change over the next 20 years in Penticton.
Share your comments about whether the draft plan aligns with what you envision as a framework for the City’s first Urban Forest Management Plan.
A City arborist will be on site to answer to answer questions about local trees. If you would like to consult them about your tree health concerns, we encourage you to bring a picture.
