Urban forest maturity scale

Self Assessment Tool

Score Subsections and Select Targets

Assess each subsection on the 1-5 maturity scale. The tool calculates current maturity from the average score.

How the self-assessment works

Competency areas are scored from 1 to 5 and averaged across four dimensions. Your responses guide the overall score and the recommended next steps to help advance each area.

Answer as honestly as possible. The goal is to set priorities and strengthen your urban forestry program, not to achieve a perfect result in every competency.
