Option
Enhance and Expand Urban Forest Cover and Vegetation - The City will build upon the Urban Forest Management Plan, with attention to reducing urban heat island conditions. The City will prioritize neighborhoods that are most impacted by extreme heat and poor air quality and that have higher vulnerability because they lack urban forest and green space or have fewer resources to limit exposure to heat. Emphasis is placed on drought-tolerant plants or California natives, which require less water and offer multiple benefits. One co-benefit of this is increased creation of green jobs.
