Lawrence’s First Urban Forest Master Plan

Lawrence is launching its first-ever urban forestry master plan—with help from grad student Taylor Stout—to turn tree care into a citywide strategy that boosts health, manages rainwater, cools neighborhoods, and fights historical inequities in green space access. Focused on underserved areas like Pendleton Pike and Post Road, the plan prioritizes community input and planting the right trees where they’ll thrive—and where residents need them most. It’s part of a national program designed to make cities more competitive for funding while advancing sustainability and health goals under Lawrence’s “Live Longer in Lawrence” mission.
