The Halifax Regional Municipality is in the process of updating its 2013 Urban Forest Master Plan. The new Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) will guide the management of the urban forest until 2034 through a period of rapid community growth and changing climate. The municipality wants your input to establish a collective vision and values. The updated UFMP will include:
baseline information on the current state of Halifax’s urban forest
a long-term vision for the city’s urban forest
program goals, recommendations and targets
operational plans, policies and specifications to support the plan’s implementation
There will be two phases of public engagement during the development of the UFMP. The first phase of engagement will take place in February 2024 to inform the plan’s vision and goals.
The second phase of engagement will happen in the spring of 2024 to collect feedback on the draft new UFMP. To stay up to date with the project, please subscribe for project updates.
Get Involved
The municipality is looking for your feedback on how we maximize the positive impacts trees can have in our region. Following public engagement, staff will review and consider the feedback provided, draft the new UFMP plan and present it to Regional Council for final review and approval.
Join us for a public open house on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at the Canada Games Centre or on Thursday, Feb. 22 at the Zatsman Sportsplex.
