Community Survey #2

Fremont, CA Urban Forest Management Plan

Survey Closed - See Results Below

The following survey results were compiled from the second survey to support the objective of gathering community input on “what we want” for our Urban Forest. This second survey built on the previous survey that gathered viewpoints and perceptions as it related to urban forest conditions, management, and benefits for an understanding of “what we have.”

The results of this brief survey will help guide the development of the City’s Urban Forest Management Plan. This was the second of three planned surveys, with the focus of gathering community input on “what we have” as well as determining current tree care roles, responsibilities, needs, and desires.
