Citizen Survey for City of Duncan's Urban Forest Strategy
The City of Duncan is currently developing an Urban Forest Strategy which will build upon the
Official Community Plan and the recently completed Green Streets Inventory (available at www.duncan.ca under CityHall >Reports).
Diamond Head Consulting Ltd., a Vancouver-based company specializing in forest and ecosystem management,
has been selected to assist in this endeavour. This short survey is intended to provide citizens of Duncan
an opportunity to participate in the planning process. Survey information received will be used to help
develop a vision and direction for future management of trees and natural areas within the City. Results
of this survey will be made available during a public open house scheduled for May (date to be determined).
We thank those that have responded to the survey
All completed surveys will be entered into a draw
for three separate prizes: a $150 cash prize and two gift certificates worth $75 to a local nursery, with the
winners announced at the open house in May.
Questions may be addressed to James van Hemert, Director of Development Services, at 250-746-6126.
An Urban Forest is more than just trees and forest cover.
It is a system which includes water, soil, vegetation, wildlife and natural processes that are all integral
to ecological health. The Urban Forest Strategy will provide direction to manage these important values and
ensure that they are sustained over the long-term. By protecting, maintaining and enhancing the urban
forest, we are ensuring that citizens of Duncan will continue to enjoy the many social, health, and
economic benefits that are provided by a healthy environment.
