🌳 Urban Forest Management Plan Adopted! 🌳

We’re excited to announce that on July 22, 2025, the Tarpon Springs Board of Commissioners officially adopted the Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP)! This milestone represents years of collaborative work, community input, and environmental vision coming together to guide the future of Tarpon’s trees and green spaces.

The UFMP lays out a 10-year strategy to grow and protect our urban canopy, improve storm resilience, enhance public health, and increase access to nature for all residents. Rooted in the community's priorities and aligned with the City’s Strategic and Sustainability Plans, the UFMP includes actionable goals like adopting the 3-35-300 framework, updating tree ordinances, and launching annual progress reporting.

🌿 Thank you to the Sustainability Committee for your thoughtful guidance and letter of support. Your dedication helped turn this plan into a reality.

🎯 The work doesn’t stop here — now begins the exciting phase of implementation. Let’s continue working together to make Tarpon Springs greener, healthier, and more resilient!
