DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Kentville, Nova Scotia, is seeking professional services to develop an urban forest management plan that provides strategic and long-term direction for managing its urban canopy. The work will address two urban forests, town parks, and municipally owned street trees.

The selected vendor will complete a comprehensive GIS-based tree inventory and deliver the inventory in shapefile format with associated metadata. The project will also include an equity-focused land cover analysis using urban canopy coverage and social vulnerability data, as well as a planting prioritization study for the downtown core and the two forested areas. The study should identify specific planting sites and suitable tree species.

The vendor will collaborate with municipal staff to plan and host at least one public engagement session to inform the project. The management plan will be developed through technical studies, data analysis, community input, and actionable recommendations.
