Managing the Forests Where We Live: An Assessment of Washington State Cities

An assessment of the urban forestry programs of Washington state citieswas done by the University of Washington.

"It's hard to know where you are going if you don't know where you are! The Washington State Department of Natural Resources provides technical and financial assistance to communities of all sizes throughout the states to help build their urban forestry programs. What has been achieved?  An assessment of our cities' urban forestry programs was done by the University of Washington in three phases from 2001 to 2004." [first page]

This fact sheet describes the benefits of urban trees, outlines the "five core elements important for a good municipal forestry program" [second page], and provides an assessment of how the communities in Washington are faring via a "Report Card."
