Urban & Community Forestry

Municipal street trees, easement properties, and urban or suburban woodlands comprise the community forest – one of the most valuable amenity and functional components of the public green space. Because this green asset is long-lived, negative changes in the community tree population can go unnoticed for decades unless programmatic monitoring and intentional planning are adhered to. In addition to our standard services, we support our municipal clients with specialized expertise including:

• Community Forest Management Plans (CFMPs) and Revisions
