Urban Forest Management Strategy Survey

The City of Langley is developing an Urban Forest Management Strategy (UFMS) to guide the long-term planning and management of Langley’s urban forest.

The City of Langley’s urban forest is comprised of forests in distinct natural areas surrounding the urban core, including forest parks, wetlands, as well as urban trees along streets, in parks, and in private yards. The urban forest provides important benefits to the community – it supports high levels of biodiversity, provides high-value recreation opportunities, improves air quality, manages stormwater, and beautifies neighbourhoods. Langley’s urban forest also plays a critical role in the culture of Host Nations (The q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), Máthxwi (Matsqui), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie) and e’mya’me (Semiahmoo) First Nations) as well as the City’s character and identity.

We are currently in the second phase and will focus on gathering feedback on the draft Urban Forest Management Strategy (UFMS) and priorities for implementation.

The Phase 2 Survey will be available until October 31st, 2024!
