Tigard Wants to Hear from Residents Regarding Trees
The City of Tigard is soliciting input for the Urban Forestry Master Plan. Completion of this plan will help to implement the recently adopted Urban Forest section of the Land Use chapter in the Comprehensive Plan.

In December, Steve Johnson & Associates conducted a scientific telephone survey of 400 randomly selected Tigard citizens about their attitude towards existing and potential urban forestry policies and programs. The survey was funded in part by the Oregon Department of Forestry and USDA Forest Service.

The web version of the survey is available on-line at www.tigard-or.gov/community/trees/master_plan.asp so you can participate and/or review the questions. The survey results will be incorporated into the Urban Forestry Master Plan and will allow for a more detailed understanding of how to manage Tigard's urban forest in order to better meet the needs of our community.

The web survey will be available until February 28, 2009. The results of both the telephone survey and web survey will be posted on-line and available at the Permit Center when they are complete. Any questions about the survey or the Urban Forestry Master Plan can be directed to Marissa Daniels at 503-718-2428 or marissa@tigard-or.gov.
