2. 26-88 DISCUSSION: CANOPY RESTORATION PROJECT

Environmental Advisory Board Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

A Canopy Restoration Project is under review, with a grant request of $5,400 for tree planting in 2026. This project aims to restore the city's tree canopy, with plans for two planting events. The project involves selecting and planting trees, with a follow-up inspection process and a warranty for replacements. Discussions are also occurring about potentially revising city ordinances regarding tree diameter requirements for replacement trees to manage costs. This early stage means opportunities for contractors and suppliers. Work could involve site preparation, tree delivery and planting, and ongoing maintenance. Local businesses in landscaping, tree services, and material supply could find opportunities by engaging now before final plans and permits are set.
