| Abstract: |
With effective planning and managment, urban trees and forest will provide a wide range of important benefits to urbanites. These include a more pleasant, healthful, and comfortable environment to live, work and play in, savings in the costs of providing a wide range of urban services and substantial imporvements in individual and community well-being. Urban forestry plans should begin with consideration of the contribution that trees and forests can make to people's needs. Planning and management efforts have not been as effective as they might have been because planners and managers have underestimated the potential benefits that urban trees and forests can provide, and have not understoof the planning and management efforts needed to provide these benefits. Particularly, the linkages between benefits and characteristics of the urban forest and its management. |
