Urban Forestry South
Urban Forestry South focuses on technology and information that supports urban forest management, tree health, tree biology, the measurement of ecosystem benefits derived from trees in urban settings, urban nature and human health, children and nature connections, and heightening awareness of and providing information about wildland-urban interface issues in the South and nationwide.
Recent publication of ANSI standards and BMPs for urban tree risk management makes it imperative that the profession change and adapt.
