Milton wants help from the Georgia Urban Forestry Council to survey the city's trees and to learn how to manage them to preserve the tree canopy.
City Council met Monday at city hall and approved a grant request from the Georgia Urban Forestry Council to prepare a tree inventory, assessment and management plan for the city.
“This is the first study required in order to apply for more grant funds to implement a tree canopy management plan and/or to fund changes that may be required to the tree ordinance. This report sets a baseline so that we can track loss of tree canopy, and publicly owned and maintained trees in particular,” said Community Development Director Lynn Tully.
