Trees make important contributions to society and are an integral part of urban infrastructure, as critical to the health and livability of communities as roads, sewers, and buildings. Mayors recognize the invaluable role of urban forests in the protection of public health and reduction of harmful greenhouse gases. We surveyed our members to establish a baseline of information on their current community tree efforts; with this report, we are pleased to share that baseline of information with all mayors and all others dedicated to protecting and expanding the critical national resource our urban forests represent.

-
There are numerous publications on the root plate dimensions of windthrown trees, but few relate the root depth and spread to the soil types in which the trees were growing. It is well known that different soil types and their properties are an important factor in determining the rooting habit of a tree. This Information Note reviews the available published information and aims to fill in some gaps to produce a guide of plausible rooting depth ranges for a selection of species on soils with different characteristics. By providing information on the likely extent of tree roots, this Note aims to be useful to anyone with an interest in subterranean utilities, objects or features.

-
The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. This makes the WUI a focal area for human-environment conflicts such as wildland fires, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and biodiversity decline. Using geographic information systems (GIS), we integrated U.S. Census and USGS National Land Cover Data, to map the Federal Register definition of WUI (Federal Register 66:751, 2001). These data are useful within a GIS for mapping and analysis at national, state, and local levels.
