Next year, the city will build a new comprehensive plan around the thing that puts the green in Greenville — our trees. The Urban Forest Comprehensive Plan will:
- Outline the city’s long-term urban forest vision
- Complete an inventory of the city’s urban forest
- Provide recommendations for the city’s tree ordinance
- Examine a potential tree endowment fund
The plan will focus on “strengthening environmental resilience, public health, and community quality of life.” The process kicks off in January, and there will be opportunities for public feedback along the way. We’ll keep you posted about when and where.
