The City of Titusville Environmental Commission is reviewing how to manage its urban forest. Currently, no single person is responsible for overseeing public trees. This has resulted in no tree planting program and maintenance that is entirely reactive. The commission is considering how to establish clear roles, resources, and a commitment to implement plans and recommendations for urban forestry. This review is in its early stages, meaning plans and potential projects are still being developed. The work could involve developing new management plans, potentially leading to site assessments, tree planting, and ongoing maintenance services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, site preparation, and general maintenance could find opportunities by engaging with the city early in this planning process before specific projects are defined and bids are sought.
