What is the Urban Forest Master Plan project?

The city is in the process of creating its first-ever Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP). The UFMP will guide planning and management of Fairfax’s urban forest over the next 20 years – and we need your help. It will explore topics including tree care, planting needs, staff capacity, budget, invasive species, tree-related policy, volunteer opportunities, and other topics discovered through research, analysis, and community input.

Where are we in the process?

The project includes two phases and four community meetings. Phase 1 was completed in February 2025; Phase 2 began in February 2025 and is estimated to be completed in January 2026. See Phase 2 timeline below.

What is my role?

You are a local expert! By living in the city, you have daily opportunities to observe your neighborhood and the community’s urban forest. Your input is critical to ensure the Urban Forest Master Plan responds to the needs of residents.
