| Abstract: |
Today’s challenge is to stop viewing urban trees as pretty pictures and begin treating them as urban ecosystems and essential parts of a city's infrastructure, as assets, not liabilities. A purpose of this book is to show how planning, collaboration and careful management can assure that the urban forest contributes to the urban ecosystem in positive, productive and socially beneficial ways. Trees will more than pay their way if we do our part to think both ecologically and in terms of sustainability – then act accordingly. |
