Buffalo’s Dept. of Public Works, Parks and Streets is looking for a firm to handle community outreach and education for its Buffalo Equity in Street Trees (B.E.S.T.) program.
B.E.S.T. concentrates on growing and managing the city’s urban forest to ensure that residents reap the health, social and environmental benefits that trees and canopy offer.
The effort will focus on community outreach in areas that are identified as climate and economic justice zones.
The firm will implement community and ambassador programs to amplify the voices of historically underrepresented communities in urban forest planning and ensure resident buy-in.
It will work with city officials to spread awareness of the value of tree planting/maintenance and benefits of a robust tree canopy.
Buffalo will issue a one-year contract with options to work for two additional one-year periods.
Proposals are due April 5. They go to:
Andrew R. Rabb
Deputy Commissioner
DPW, Parks and Recreation
65 Niagara Square
Room 505 City Hall
Buffalo, NY 14202
