Titusville Environmental Commission · 2026-05-13 · agenda_item

The City of Titusville is developing an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) to preserve, conserve, enhance, and restore its natural tree canopy. This plan aims to create a native urban forest that will help reduce heat, manage flooding, and improve air quality. The vision for the UFMP focuses on a healthy urban forest through conservation and strategic tree plantings. The plan is currently under review, following community input and stakeholder perspectives. The project will involve site assessments, strategic tree plantings, and potentially revisions to city codes and ordinances related to urban forestry. This initiative presents opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as site preparation, grading, planting, landscaping, and potentially civil engineering and urban planning services. Early engagement is advised as the plan moves forward to understand specific project needs and potential scopes of work.
