Lacey City Seeks Tree Expert to Revive Canopy

Lacey’s urban forest is in trouble — tree canopy has plummeted from 43% to just 28.3% since 2004, mostly due to rapid development — and the city is racing to fix it before it’s too late. With $100K–$150K in grant money and a tight deadline, they’re seeking a qualified consultant to update their urban forestry plan, analyze current tree conditions, set measurable goals, and ensure equitable access to green space. The new strategy must tackle stormwater, wildfire risk, climate change, and align with state and local climate/housing mandates — all while engaging the community. Proposals are due by July 17, with contract finalization targeted for August. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
