The document outlines Tulsa's Urban Forest Master Plan created by Up With Trees. It discusses assessing Tulsa's existing urban forest through tools like iTree Eco and establishing an advisory council. The plan aims to increase Tulsa's urban tree canopy through partnerships with organizations like Tulsa Public Schools and changes to ordinances. It also emphasizes community engagement, using data to prioritize planting areas, and promoting urban forestry awareness.
