Thank you again for submitting your proposal to the ThriveTogether site. We want to follow up to let you know how this proposal is incorporated into the overall list of Implementation Measures for the ThriveTogether Plan. This proposal is incorporated into Measure 7.B. Promote urban forestry as an important measure against the urban heat island effect. You can view the ThriveTogether Priority Plan on the Preliminary and Comprehensive Plan Outputs tile (then click on the purple Key Deliverables box).

Go to the project
Cultivate and enhance our natural spaces in the metro.
Protect and preserve our underutilized greenspaces, especially in areas that lack access to them, and transform them into areas where communities can come together to enjoy nature and where plants and animals are able to thrive.
Support unique ways of enhancing these spaces and ensure that every project has a definite carbon sequestration function through native plants and tree plantings.
Make these spaces a destination rather than a dumping/collection place for trash and help foster a sense of pride in community members.
Ensure continuous maintenance through support of partners who have staff or workforces available to work on properties, or fund maintenance professionals through new funding.
