3. Environmental function is the primary measure of urban forest value.

Titusville Environmental Commission · 2026-05-13 · agenda_item

The Titusville Environmental Commission is considering a project focused on the environmental functions of the urban forest. This initiative aims to address community priorities such as stormwater management, providing shade, and supporting wildlife and pollinators. The project aligns with the city's vision for environmental benefits, improved water quality, and reduced heat, and supports Resilient Titusville goals and lagoon water quality improvement. While specific details like location and size are not yet defined, the project is currently under review by the commission. If approved, it would likely involve planning and potentially implementation phases related to urban forestry, which could include site preparation, planting, and ongoing maintenance. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like landscaping, site preparation, and potentially environmental consulting could find opportunities by engaging early in the process before final plans are set.
