An early version of Rochester’s Urban Forestry Master Plan points to a need for added resources to protect and grow trees in the city.
“Without additional staff, I don’t know how we would implement much of it,” Rochester City Forester Jeff Haberman said of the plan’s proposed 20-year goals.
Chris Peiffer, of Plan It Geo, which helped develop the proposed plan, said Rochester spends less than similar-sized cities on caring for its urban forest.
