In 2013, City Council approved spending up to $10,000 from the Tree Trust Fund to engage an arborist for surveying the City's tree canopy. Through an existing interlocal agreement between the City and Escambia County, the County is providing staffing for this assessment through Environmental Support Services. The City's Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) is assisting with this effort. A presentation on the data collection phase of this initiative was presented to the EAB on May 28, 2014.
