Our vision is to create a healthy home for people and trees, where the urban forest serves a vital role in supporting a high quality of life for each and every Salt Lake County resident.
Our mission is to plant one tree for every resident which will develop a living legacy for Salt Lake County. We will help our partners plant the right tree in the right place, and provide them with information and support to sustain that tree for its lifetime.
That we may accomplish our mission the following strategic plan is proposed.
The purpose of the Salt Lake County Urban Forestry Strategic Plan is to establish goals which should be pursued to grow and sustain a healthy community forest.
The following goals are listed in order of priority:
1: Coordinate the Planning, Planting and Management of Urban Forest
2: Identify, Catalog, Establish and Promote Maximum Tree Cover
3: Facilitate Efficient and Cost-effective Citizen, Corporate and Municipal Stewardship of the Community Forest
4: Foster Community Support for Public Urban Forestry Programs
Salt Lake County and its community partners envision a sustainable urban forest where stewardship of the area’s trees and planting of new trees can create a green infrastructure providing the region a wealth of benefits. This county-wide partnership is collaboration between cities, businesses, residents, community organizations, and Salt Lake County who support the Million Tree Program.
