Attachment 3 1198 Embodied carbon reduction plan Natural Systems Participate and support a regional Embodied Carbon Reduction Plan (i.e., considering the footprint of the material including resources needed to produce the materials) to reduce the carbon content of materials that include a variety of approaches. This Plan should consider: • Whole building lifecycle analysis for new construction and incentives for achieving reductions. • Participate in regional efforts to build local supply chains and economic opportunities. • Partnerships to promote low -carbon products. • Encourage carbon -smart and recycled building materials. • A low -carbon concrete requirement. • Education campaigns and resources. Secondary Action. Goal Offset greenhouse gas emissions by fostering resilient natural landscapes which will improve habitats, ecosystems, and public health. Existing Ongoing Actions Pesticide Posting Program Continue to implement the Pesticide Posting Program and follow the City's Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM). Municipal Landscape Continue to manage the amount, source, placement, and timing of plant nutrients and soil amendments in City parks, green spaces, and Management Practice natural areas (e.g., applying recycled wood mulch from tree trimmings into planters, medians, and tree wells and leaving green waste on-site to the extent feasible). Sustainable land Continue the City's Environmental Services Water Conservation efforts including encouraging lawn conversion and improving landscape management education design through education. Strategy 1: Increase and optimize carbon sequestration and improve ecosystem resilience. 1150 Urban Forest Master Plan Develop and implement an Urban Forest Master Plan that includes best practices for tree health and maintenance and reevaluates community tree regulations. The plan should aim to protect and increase tree canopy, and to ensure trees are replanted with a "right sized tree" with sufficient minimum soil volume (e.g., 1,000 cubic feet of soil per tree). As part of the plan: • Consider a community planting program that incentivize the community and incorporates community education focusing on proper planting practices and benefits of canopy cover. • Create a community guide with information on appropriate species (e.g., climate -adapted, drought -tolerant, and carbon sequestering species) and planting tips.
