MAPC outlines goals and schedule at Dover tree preservation kickoff
Summary
At a May 6 remote kickoff, MAPC representatives described a tree-preservation project emphasizing public education, a schedule of tasks and five planned committee meetings, and initial outreach responsibilities assigned by the committee.
The Dover Tree Preservation Committee convened a remote kickoff with Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) members on May 6, 2026; Chair Val Lin called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM. MAPC members Diana Marsh and Jiwon Park introduced their backgrounds and laid out project goals, saying public education and illustrating the value of trees to the community will be central to the effort.
MAPC presented a project timeline and described a schedule of activities and tasks the committee will follow. The presentation noted that there will be five Tree Committee meetings with MAPC and emphasized data collection and outreach as early steps. The committee recorded that "Val and Melissa will be the communication point people" and discussed creating a landing page on the Town website to publicize meetings and materials.
The meeting set immediate next steps: Val Lin will email members to collect dates for public forums and standing meeting dates, and the committee will finalize a date for an initial Zoom public forum likely around June 8. No formal votes or motions were taken at the kickoff; the group adjourned at 8:20 PM.
