Input requested on plan to abolish the Community Forestry Advisory Board in favor of Environmental Advisory Board (City of San Diego)

The City of San Diego is planning to abolish the Community Forestry Advisory Board in favor of a 15 member Environmental Advisory Board focused on more wide ranging issues.

This action has been opposed by CFAB members who feel the message and focus on the importance of Urban Forestry will be lost with this larger board.

Councilmember Campbell’s office will be hosting a public workshop to hear concerns and comments about this proposed action.

The workshop will be held January 23 from 6pm-7pm at the Pacific Beach Recreation Center (1405 Diamod St)

Please see below attachments of the proposed change in City Code, Staff Report and the letter of opposition from CFAB
