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 provides 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.
