Urban Forest Management Plan - RFP

Synopsis:

The City of North Battleford is seeking qualified consulting firms and professionals to provide services and consultation for the development of an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP).

The urban forest of the city includes all trees located within the city boundaries, which encompasses trees in parks, along streets and sidewalks, in cemeteries, within existing forests and ecosystems, on agricultural lands, and on private and commercial properties.

The city has previously adopted an interim UFMP, which has now concluded. The new UFMP will provide a comprehensive framework for the growth, management, and preservation of North Battleford’s urban forest. This plan will include strategies for establishing acceptable canopy coverage and forest health targets, as well as achieving tangible goals and addressing resource challenges over the next twenty-five years and beyond.
