Our Heritage of Community Trees

This booklet explains the history of urban forestry.

Only recently have experts fully understood the many benefits of landscape trees, and how communities can care for them and keep them healthy in stressful urban environments. This field of knowledge, now known as urban forestry in North America and in other parts of the world, has gradually emerged mainly from the disciplines of arboriculture, landscape architecture, and forestry, and includes subjects such as horticulture, soil science, plant pathology, entomology, and social sciences.
