Episode Details

Orange County is launching its first-ever Urban Forest Master Plan to protect and expand its tree canopy over the next 20 years — all part of the OC Loves Trees initiative. Trees aren’t just pretty; they cool neighborhoods, filter air, manage stormwater, and support wildlife — but urban growth makes planting and preserving them harder. Residents are invited to weigh in via Engage Orange and at a public meeting on Sept. 29 at the Innovation Center, with a virtual session coming soon. The plan will guide tree conservation, new planting in developments, and community greenery — with a final version expected by winter 2027 for approval by county commissioners.
