Trees are Infrastructure Too: How to Plan Ahead Before They’re Gone »
2025 APA UT Fall Conference, October 10, 2025 11:30 amIn cities across Utah, cities are cutting down mature trees due to reactive planning, policy gaps, or infrastructure conflicts. This session explores how to prevent those losses by treating trees as essential infrastructure, worthy of preservation, coordination, and long-range investment. We’ll open with a fast-paced “Winners & Losers” game to see who wins when trees clash with development. A spotlight on a recent case of tree loss in Logan, Utah, will challenge attendees to test tree-protection policies and planning efforts. Panelists will offer real-world strategies for embedding tree protection into zoning, engineering, and long-range plans.
