The Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) Toolkit website can be used by anyone managing a large population of trees in or near urban areas. The Toolkit website is intended to help urban forest managers develop management plans that are appropriate for their urban forests. Developing an urban forest management plan is a demanding task. It requires input from many people and data sources, thoughtful analysis, vision, good organizational and writing skills, and time. Urban forest management plans are usually developed through the collaborative efforts of multiple staff members and consultants. A member of the organization developing the plan normally serves as project manager and provides overall project coordination. An important part of developing the plan is developing consensus among various stakeholders and interested parties. Plans developed by cities or other public entities require public input, which occurs at various stages of plan development. This Toolkit steps through plan development in a linear fashion. However, plan development may actually require a more looping, iterative process. New issues may be identified as the plan is developed that may require additional analysis.
