Project Overview

The Edgewater Urban Forest Master Plan is a roadmap for how to maintain, preserve, and grow the city’s tree canopy. What is Edgewater's tree canopy like right now? Where should the city preserve trees? Where should the city plant new trees? What kind of trees does the community need and want? Do some parts of the city get to experience more benefits from trees than others. All of these questions, and more, will be asked and answered as part of the Urban Forest Master Plan.
