Urban Forest Management Plan

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:

Create a safe, healthy, sustainable, urban forest encompassing a large variety of
species (110 and growing) and ages (newly planted to historic) that demonstrates
to students, faculty, staff and visitors the environmental benefits and splendor that
the urban forest provides.


A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):

A healthy, properly maintained urban forest will welcome the campus
community into a safe and beautiful atmosphere. A health and hazard assessment
for each tree must be performed. This assessment will provide critical information
for building a tree maintenance database that will include scheduling, ranking,
valuation, removal and replacement. The plan also presents guidelines that will
protect the Urban Forest during maintenance work and construction projects.
