Help Us Grow a Better and More Equitable Urban Forest

The city is updating its Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) and needs your help. The current plan was developed in 2019 before Milwaukie's Tree Code (2022), influx of middle housing, and the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome. The plan is a living document, meant to be updated every five years to incorporate significant shifts in the context, impacts, and constraints that the community is feeling with regards to trees and the urban forest.

For a great introduction to this project please visit the Storymap and then take the quick Survey below to share your experiences and priorities. The survey will be open until Monday, July 13, 2026.

Other opportunities to get involved include the following. Learn more by also checking out the Project Flier or the Project Website.

  • Take a moment to take the fun Quick Poll below
  • Stakeholder Roundtables
  • Public Open House (September 2026 - Exact date to be determined)
  • Submit questions using the Questions tool below as the project proceeds and staff will respond to them.
