Urban Forestry Guide

Urban Forestry... the art, science, and technology of managing trees and forest resources in and around urban community ecosystems for the physiological, sociological, economic, and aesthetic benefits trees provide society.

This guide was built upon a demonstration project conducted at the UT Arboretum. The project was designed to demonstrate urban forestry practices and to lay an initial foundation for promoting and heightening awareness of urban forest stewardship.
