Snohomish County staff is working to implement the new urban tree policy. Futurewise is working closely with them on the
planning that is underway.
There are resources available to enable our county to protect heritage trees, improve surface water infrastructure, increase canopy in underserved areas, and design housing with flexibility for a livable Snohomish County. The WA Urban and Community Forestry program is advertising
An Untapped Grant Opportunity for Communities.
If you are interested in joining a LWVSC committee to follow and support this work, please contact Kate Lunceford.
