The Sustainable Urban Forest Guide: A Step-by-Step Approach
This guide is designed primarily to help municipalities assess the state of their urban forest, identify management concerns, and chart a path forward, step by step, toward long-term sustainability.
Increasingly, cities and communities of all sizes recognize the importance of their tree cover and the need for plans to manage that natural resource. Far fewer actually have such plans in place, and where they do exist, many of those plans fall short in one way or another. This guide is designed primarily to help municipalities assess the state of their urban forest, identify management concerns, and chart a path forward, step by step, toward long-term sustainability. It presents a scalable approach that can be adapted by any “community” that seeks to pursue a similar path in its realm of responsibility. This could include a county, city, park district, conservation district, university or corporate campus, homeowner association, or any other such entities. [Introduction]
