Join us for a Tree of Heaven Workshop on August 9 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
The Tree of Heaven is a fast-growing, invasive species that can quickly take over sites, damaging foundations and sewers 🌳🚫

Urban Forestry staff and a Neighborhood Tree Steward will lead a walk and talk about the tree. Learn how to identify the tree at various stages, how to report a sighting, best management practices for removal and treatment, and replanting options.

Provide your comments to shape Vancouver’s plan for growth and development!

The City of Vancouver is currently updating its comprehensive plan, which influences a lot of things including:
• How where you live, work, and play in Vancouver could grow and change in the future.
• What kinds of housing, jobs, and amenities could be in Vancouver and where they are located.
• How safe and easy it is to get to different places in Vancouver.
• And more!

Now is an important time to get involved. Through the state-required environmental process, the City published a report, called a Draft Environmental Impact Statement also known as a Draft EIS, on July 8 for the public to review and comment on. The Draft EIS looks at how different alternatives for how we could grow and develop could affect our community and environment. It’s used to help consider potential impacts of the City of Vancouver's Comprehensive Plan Update before it is finalized and adopted.
