Urban Forest Management Plan

Urban Forest Management Plan

The City of Regina is preparing a new Urban Forest Management Plan to guide how we will care for trees over the next 15 years.

The urban forest is made up of trees, plants, soils, and natural areas found across the city. With more than 550,000 trees spread throughout our streets, parks, and yards, Regina’s urban forest plays a pivotal role in cooling our neighbourhoods, enhancing public spaces, and supporting community health, equity, and well-being. For over two decades, these valuable natural assets have been managed under Regina’s Urban Forest Management Strategy (RUFMS; 2000). Now, with continued urban growth, changing climate conditions, extreme weather, pests, and diseases, it’s time for a new plan that reflects current realities and community needs.

The new UFMP will lay out a clear vision and goals for Regina’s trees, and we’re inviting you to be a part of that process. Additional targeted engagement will also be done with interested parties and Indigenous community members. By sharing your thoughts, experiences, and ideas, you can help ensure the UFMP reflects a shared, community-supported vision and framework for managing Regina’s urban forest over the next 15 years.

All engagement tools listed below will remain open until Monday, June 30, 2025.
