The Tree Board Meeting for the City of Lake Forest Park, WA, held on July 2, 2025, focused on planning upcoming community events and discussing educational materials related to local trees.

The meeting began with a discussion on the need for kid-friendly activities at the upcoming event. Board members emphasized the importance of making the event engaging for families, suggesting the inclusion of activities suitable for children. One member proposed bringing back coloring pages that feature various tree species found in Forest Park, along with fun facts about these trees. Supplies for coloring were confirmed to be available, as the materials were already printed and stored.

The conversation then shifted to the potential need for additional materials for both the upcoming event and another scheduled for October. Board members considered whether new informational resources should be created, although it was noted that updates regarding grants and the canopy study would likely not be ready in time for the events.

Lastly, a member inquired about the closing date for the comment period related to the climate element, indicating ongoing efforts to engage the community in environmental discussions.

In summary, the meeting highlighted the Tree Board's commitment to fostering community involvement through educational and family-oriented activities, while also addressing the timing of relevant environmental initiatives. Further planning and coordination will continue as the events approach.
