Other Details
The City of Rialto was awarded an Urban and Community Forestry grant by CAL FIRE through Inflation Reduction Act funding from the USDA Forest Service. The core components of the project include the development of an Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP), community tree distributions, tree planting, tree care, and community engagement.
The City of Rialto Public Works Department is seeking qualified vendors to assist with the implementation of the City’s Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). This comprehensive urban forestry assessment includes canopy cover locations and percentages, a physical tree inventory, community input, and ground-truthing reports. This plan will serve as the City’s guiding document, ensuring that the benefits of a healthy urban forest grow sustainably in response to changing climate conditions and are made available equitably to the entire community. One of the primary objectives of the City’s UFMP will be to enhance citywide canopy cover in the long term, thereby combating extreme heat, mitigating stormwater and air pollution, and improving beautification for recreation and public health.
*The progress of this project is contingent upon the availability of funding. Should a funding restriction or freeze occur, the City reserves the right to suspend or cancel the project, with cancellation taking effect immediately and without prior notice. *
