Notes from Hurricane Andrew
"Damage to the urban forest in Dade County, Florida by Hurricane Andrew was unparalleled to any natural occurring event in the United States past history. In many areas, almost all of the trees were destroyed. Much of the hurricane related-damaged was a result of poorly located trees, poor species selection and improper maintenance. Efforts have been made and will continue to provide communities and volunteer groups with the most up-to-date technical information, so that replanting efforts can avoid past mistakes."
