4. The urban forest both serves and depends on the entire Titusville community.

The City of Titusville is reviewing plans to enhance its urban forest, recognizing that trees provide benefits to all residents. Current data shows that over half of surveyed residents live in areas with less tree cover, and about half cannot walk to a park within five minutes. Since most trees are on private property, the City acknowledges that it cannot achieve its urban forest goals alone. This initiative is currently under review by the Titusville Environmental Commission. The project is expected to involve site preparation, planting, and ongoing maintenance, potentially including work on both public and private land. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, site preparation, and potentially tree nursery services could find opportunities by engaging early in this planned initiative before specific project details and bidding processes are finalized.
