The Washington State Department of Natural Resources provides technical and financial assistance to communities of all sizes throughout the states to help build their urban forestry programs. What has been achieved? An assessment of our cities' urban forestry programs was done by the University of Washington in three phases from 2001 to 2004." [first page]
