analysis (which is in progress now and will be completed in 2009). We hope to
first identify the environmental importance of our urban forest and then tie
that to our Official Plan environmental goal statements. We have a Tree and
Forests Advisory Committee with representatives from across the community that will
review the UFORE analysis and will be actively involved in setting the
direction and recommendations that go into a strategy. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

This was a community based planning project I managed.<br>
<br>
The community is different but the methodology is sound.<br>
<br>
It involves both community meetings and key individual
"tailgate"<br>
<br>
meetings.<br>
<br>
The completed document is here feel free to contact me via email to discuss.<br>

presently exploring how we can accomplish this in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
