TREES FOR PEOPLE

The mission of this urban forest action plan is to increase and maintain Lancaster’s urban forest in a sustainable way, and to enlighten residents and property owners about the importance of the urban forest. That way, our urban forest will remain healthy and verdant, and continue to benefit all residents and visitors long into the future.
