Urban Forestry

Urban forestry is the management of managed ecosystems dominated by human activity. Urban foresters are responsible for caring for trees and forests which exist within or close to cities, towns, and villages. Urban forestry differs from traditional forestry and arboriculture in that it takes an ecological approach to management of the urban forest as a whole rather than concentrating on individual trees or stands.
