Urban Forestry
Urban Forestry refers to the management, restoration, and conservation of trees and green spaces in urban environments. This includes the planning and maintenance of parks, streetscapes, and other public spaces, as well as the preservation of private property trees and natural areas within cities. Urban foresters work closely with city planners, landscape architects, and other professionals to ensure that trees are integrated into the built environment in a way that maximizes their benefits for both people and the planet. They may also be involved in educating the public about the importance of urban trees and how to care for them. As such, Urban Forestry is a specialized field within Forestry that focuses on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by urban ecosystems.
