Help Shape Raleigh’s Urban Forest – Share Your Input! 

Raleigh Parks invites you to participate in the Leaf Out public survey and play a vital role in shaping the future of our city’s tree canopy and public green spaces. Your feedback will help guide efforts to: 

  • Protect mature trees and sensitive habitats

  • Expand tree coverage & habitat connectivity

  • Promote environmental stewardship and education

By sharing your thoughts, you will help create a greener, healthier, and more resilient Raleigh for future generations. 

For those interested in development regulations, we encourage you to get involved with Reflecting Raleigh – The Next Comprehensive Plan to share your input.

Project Phase

Currently, we are in the Research phase (Fall 2024 - Early 2025). This phase involves analyzing existing conditions, data compilation, and collaboration with other city departments.

As we move forward into the Vision & Goals phase (Spring-Summer 2025), we’ll work on benchmarking and developing our long-term goals.

The project will move through the Next Steps phase (Fall-Winter 2025), during which a 5-year action plan will be developed.
