Urban Forestry

Urban forestry is the management and care of trees and green spaces in urban environments to improve the quality of life for residents and enhance the ecological health of cities. Urban forestry practices include planting, maintaining, and protecting trees in parks, streetscapes, residential areas, and public spaces. These trees provide numerous benefits, including reducing air pollution, cooling urban areas, managing stormwater, and enhancing property values. Urban forestry also plays a critical role in supporting biodiversity and connecting people with nature. Sustainable urban forestry practices prioritize the selection of appropriate tree species, proper planting techniques, and ongoing care to ensure that urban trees thrive and continue to provide their environmental and social benefits. By promoting urban forestry, landscapers contribute to the creation of greener, healthier, and more sustainable cities.
