An Act establishing the Municipal Reforestation Program

This bill establishes the Municipal Reforestation Program and creates a new advisory council to guide its implementation. The council, appointed by the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, will include experts from various sectors such as municipal departments, environmental organizations, and utility companies to provide technical advice. Its primary role is to develop science-based guidelines for municipalities on planting trees, selecting native species, and managing urban forests to improve energy efficiency and climate resilience. The program aims to ensure that tree planting efforts are ecologically sound and coordinated with public infrastructure needs.
