Members said Earth Day will be held at Fish Park with the tree board located near the Master Gardeners and several community partners. Set-up was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. with the event starting at 10 a.m. The board asked volunteers to bring a canopy, a banner and the board's demonstration materials.

For Arbor Day the board confirmed a dedication that will include a memorial/tribute tree and the participation of the Gulfview Garden Club and Crossroads Rotary. Board members said John coordinated procurement of three trees and that the tribute program is not yet open to public submissions. The species list discussed included Davidia (one confirmed) and another specimen described in the meeting as not fully specified in the minutes.

Practical needs were emphasized: pre-dug planting holes, mulch, watering access, and posts. Board members asked that public works turn on water at the planting site; otherwise volunteers expected to rely on buckets and creek water as a last resort. Members agreed to promote an 11:30 a.m. on-site start for planting and to host a short walk and demonstration after the planting and proclamation reading.

Volunteers and staffing: board members and rotating staff indicated they would staff set-up and planting in shifts; Kathy Johnson (referred to as CJ), described in the meeting as an art specialist working with city staff, will assist while other staff are at concurrent events. The board asked members to coordinate who can pick up banners and materials before the events.

The board recorded no formal vote on the events; the meeting yielded assignments and a timeline for pre-event work.","Board members confirmed Earth Day tabling at Fish Park, Arbor Day planting logistics and a memorial/tribute tree program; volunteers, equipment and pre-dug holes, mulch and water access were identified as event priorities.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6594404,"Poulsbo Tree Board reviews DNR-funded tree-canopy assessment, agrees to compile recommendations for city plan",1862,2352000,4214000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3220865-05048c4c18af9d5e7f47363cca403c4d&start=2352&end=4214","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3220865-05048c4c18af9d5e7f47363cca403c4d/thumbnail_2352000.jpg","/articles/6594404/Poulsbo/Kitsap-County/Washington/Poulsbo-Tree-Board-reviews-DNR-funded-tree-canopy-assessment-agrees-to-compile-recommendations-for-city-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6594404-7cf44b5425bd2cb2a8b98288b74f2d5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448334&Signature=S95LY1m-OpbeHDUxvnSRLPFTbZOpx3qh2Dn9aky9-~mEEVefL1O5hD4WXemDbURQE6ahDDGJPQoAto4yJSIKom37RbkRzhwIi813Ui~~fak1FhJGOHnGRy3avVtzo8Jqqzu6ThFjeCLg4Y2s9oV01amudIisii8tNd-wVH~QQ45C1pPt7I9EXGxvqc6n5SCar14jbFRHJx4T4xETsfMHs9g5YyEbpvkY94hymQbPRKirs7NRFiconvqJA9ACxNmRXGt0pHqPUHFbaopVI1cECObTeU4V54HIclPVXL2yb8VXRiY6r0KhCxuGNkLsnRulPwH5ADngQ0JulBpi57wjww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Poulsbo Tree Board on April 14 reviewed a draft final tree-canopy assessment produced under a Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grant and agreed to compile written recommendations to inform the city's urban-forest management and maintenance plan.

Board members discussed the study's deliverables — GIS canopy maps, field inventory data and temperature-logger analysis — and set a timeline to finalize a recommendation package to meet DNR deliverables due in mid-May. Board members said the recommendations will be submitted as a single document to the city and used to shape public outreach and a short presentation for council or planning bodies.

Why it matters: the study links tree cover to local heat patterns and highlights census-tract differences across the city. Board members framed the work as the basis for policy recommendations the city can use to prioritize plantings, revise development standards and target outreach to communities most affected by heat.

Board members agreed to draft recommendations in a shared document and to use that draft both as the DNR final deliverable and as the basis for public meetings. The board also discussed scheduling a brief presentation to the city council and said it will submit written comments on the city's comprehensive-plan update if needed before the April 25 public-comment deadline.

Policy implications drew sustained discussion. Members flagged a possible conflict between the state's recent Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building-code guidance and local tree protections, saying the WUI changes could make it easier for private property owners to remove trees near homes. The board discussed options raised in the meeting, including: recommending changes to the city's tree code; creating a five-year planting plan for city parks; and exploring incentives such as a tree-fund or voucher program used by other jurisdictions.

Board members also asked for higher-resolution figures and clearer attachments from the consultant so the analysis can be shared with the public and with the planning commission. The group agreed to work asynchronously on a single shared file of recommendations and to bring a consolidated draft to the May meeting so the city can finalize the DNR deliverables.

No formal vote was required; members described the outcome as a work plan and assignment of next steps.","At its April 14 meeting the Poulsbo Tree Board reviewed a draft final tree-canopy assessment produced under a Washington DNR grant, set a timeline to finalize recommended changes to the city's urban-forest management guidance and agreed to prepare materials for public and council briefings in May.","actionData","errors"]
