EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FRAMEWORK

This plan recognizes that the relationship between trees, people, and places is essential Trees positively affect human health and are valuable assets to our community, providing us with many environmental, economic, and social benefits The goals and recommendations established in this plan will guide us to achieving our unified vision for Greater Hazelwood’s urban forest and are stretched beyond the basic tenants of the “Right Tree in the Right Place” concept. We must work together as partners in the urban forest to consider tree choices and locations in light of the overall benefits trees provide to a community, and how this can positively influence our city as a whole while making positive changes at the neighborhood level
