The Town of Comox is seeking feedback from the community for its tree canopy. 

The town is welcoming input to help develop its Urban Forest Management Strategy (UFMS), a comprehensive plan to assess the state of Comox’s tree canopy. 

Mayor Nicole Minions calls the urban forest one of the town’s greatest assets. 

“It’s more than just beautiful, it plays an important role in our community’s health, well-being, and climate resilience,” said Minions. 

The UFMS will be a roadmap for maintaining and enhancing a diverse, resilient, and healthy urban forest for the next 30 years. 

The town will host a virtual open house on October 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to give residents a chance to learn more. 

The session will include a presentation and the developing recommendations, with a question-and-answer period following. 

A participation link to the virtual open house can be found here.
