Event description

Join Us at the Urban Forest Forum – Winter 2025!

This is a great chance to come together, learn about our urban forest, and share ideas for the future. Council will provide updates, listen to your thoughts, and explain key decisions as we work towards creating greener, stronger spaces for all.

The Forum is about more than just information - it’s about building a community that cares for our local environment. It’s a time to connect, share knowledge, and take responsibility for the trees and green spaces that make our city special. A thriving urban forest needs everyone working together to create green spaces that will last for generations.

Your voice matters! By coming along, you’ll be part of a lively discussion that celebrates successes, looks at challenges, and helps guide our future. We plan to hold a couple of community forums each year to keep the conversation going. Don’t miss the chance to get involved, learn, and help shape a greener future!
