Promoting urban forestry through community partnerships!

Vegetation dispersed throughout urban landscapes is used for architectural, aesthetic, recreational, wildlife, climatological and engineering purposes. Specifically, trees in urban environments are planted to enhance and beautify cities but are challenged to: 1) adapt to poor and degraded soils, 2) compete with grass for nutrients and water, 3) develop roots under impervious surfaces, 4) resist disease and insect pressures and 5) endure abuse from automobiles, lawnmowers, pests and people. This presentation will highlight research and outreach efforts to promote the care and management of woody and associated vegetation within urban and community forestry.
