This guide was developed by the Urban Forest Task Force, a group of Lake Forest Park citizens convened by the Mayor to look at the existing tree preservation ordinance and make recommendations for changes, if necessary. The task force, assisted by a consultant, hosted a focus group and held two public meetings to get input into the proposed changes. The task force submitted their recommendations to the City in January, 2007.

Members of the task force have worked on several non-code projects to enhance appreciation for and protection of the forests of Lake Forest Park. This guide is an outgrowth of that work.
