Enhancing Our Tree Canopy

The Town of Lincoln is undertaking an Urban Forest Management Review as part of a comprehensive effort to enhance the health and expand the coverage of our urban forest. This initiative will involve implementing the best policies and practices, ensuring the entire community benefits from the many economic, environmental, and health-related advantages of a vibrant tree canopy. As part of this initiative, the Town has formed a dedicated working group to guide the project, consisting of Lincoln citizens, Council members, and staff. This group will play a crucial role in developing a tree procedures and standards manual, integrating urban forest management with climate strategies, and educating the community about the impacts of climate change on our urban forests.

Through this collaborative effort, the Town of Lincoln is also launching a series of activities this fall, including community tree plantings, a tree hunt, and a giveaway. These events provide various opportunities for residents to get involved in preserving and growing Lincoln’s tree canopy.
