An UFMP creates a shared vision for the future of a tree canopy. It’s a tailored plan that guides tree care professionals to manage green infrastructure and provide for maximum, long-term benefits to the community. The plan provides recommendations based on the analysis of detailed inventories and includes a strategic plan with goals, objectives and actions; an implementation plan; a monitoring plan; and may include additional components, such as budgets, schedules, policy and procedure manuals, standards and specifications, existing ordinances, and public education plans.
