The Plan presents a series of voluntary actions that could be undertaken by the City, the public, businesses, property owners, and developers that will help preserve and enhance Salem's tree canopy in a way that will benefit future generations.
The draft Plan is located on the city's website http://www.cityofsalem.net/Residents/Parks/UrbanForestry/Pages/default.aspx, along with supporting studies and documents. Comments will be accepted until April 1, 2013.
