Winter Park Tree Committee

Our Mission

Winter Park’s tree canopy creates a community-wide park, unique to Central Florida and an integral part of the city’s brand. The mission of the WPLT Tree Committee is to work with city staff, the city’s tree advisory board, and community members to build and implement innovative programs to enhance our tree canopy for generations to come.

Sample question to bring:

  • How well has Winter Park recovered from the loss of one-third of the tree canopy destroyed by hurricanes since 2004?

  • Does a healthy tree canopy really impact our heat index?

  • What tree species are most desirable?

  • What does our tree canopy survey tell us?

  • What best practices should we consider?
