On the Leading Edge: Care of the Urban Forest

"It’s the trees in our community – in our neighborhoods and parks, shading our schoolyards and cooling our parking lots, lining our city streets, and adding beauty to our parks and our own backyards.



"Learn about tree biology, physiology, and pathology. Gain an understanding of the relationship to ornamental plantings, lawn issues and design concerns. You will find out what trees need to thrive and how to successfully care for our urban forest." [from Website]
