Extractions: Approximately 80 percent of Illinois' population lives in urban areas. About 242,000 acres of urban forests exist in Illinois. Urban forests are often the only contact many people have with the natural environment. Helping communities and urban areas sustain the health and integrity of the forest resources in and around them is the goal of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Division of Resource Protection and Stewardship, Forest Ecology - Urban and Community Forestry Program. To accomplish this goal, IDNR works toward establishing and maintaining local community forestry programs through technical and financial assistance, information dissemination, enhancing partnerships, providing resources, and recognition programs such as Tree City USA.

Extractions: Urban Forestry maintains the beauty and safety of the urban forest, the City rights-of-way, and public lands within Marion County through a comprehensive program of forest maintenance, flora ordinance enforcement, and tree planting initiatives. Urban forestry is the planning for, and management of, a community's forest resources to enhance the quality of life. The process integrates the economic, environmental, political, historical, and social values of the community to develop a comprehensive management plan for the urban forest. The following diagram illustrates this process. A community in this definition is an area of human settlement that can be located in a rural or metropolitan region. The urban forest includes the vegetation, open space, and related natural resources of the area.

PPD - Operations Engineering - Urban Forestry all trees on campus. A diverse and healthy tree canopy is the goalof our urban forestry Program. Trees are a significant feature http://www.ppd.ufl.edu/operations-urban.html
Extractions: The Urban Forester here at UF is responsible for the health and safety of all trees on campus. A diverse and healthy tree canopy is the goal of our Urban Forestry Program. Trees are a significant feature of the University of Florida campus, they define the exterior of our buildings, they reduce our energy consumption through cooling, they provide food and shelter for wildlife, the list goes on. Whether a tree is part of Harmonic Woods Preservation Area, shading Buckman Drive, or growing right outside your window, every tree on campus is important. Regular maintenance by the PPD Grounds Tree Crew, which includes pruning as well as removal of hazardous trees, is an integral part of the Urban Forestry Program here at UF. When a tree is removed because of new construction, injury, or disease, it is unfortunate, but we also see an opportunity. Young trees are planted throughout the year to renew and refresh our dynamic tree canopy. If you have any questions or concerns about trees in general, trees within construction sites or tree removal please call the Urban Forester's office (352) 392-7722 or email edsmith@ufl.edu

Extractions: With growing awareness of the social and environmental problems associated with rapid and uncontrolled urbanization in many parts of the developing world, ensuring the provision of basic human needs to city dwellers is likely to become a focal development issue for many years to come. With current demographic shifts, many of yesterday's rural poor are becoming today's urban poor. Among other things, they require fuelwood, low-cost construction materials and other wood products, easily accessible and affordable foods, and an adequate supply of clean water for drinking and for household use. There is a need to ensure not only that these people's demands for such goods are met, but also that negative environmental and social impacts of changing settlement patterns and land uses are minimized. In addition to goods and environmental services, urban forestry has the potential to provide amenity, recreational opportunities and other benefits for improved quality of life. The FAO Forestry programme, which until recently focused almost exclusively on rural forestry issues, launched a programme in urban and peri-urban forestry in 1993. The programme aims to document and disseminate information and to provide technical guidance to member countries in this field. Initially the efforts have been concentrated initially on examining the potential role of urban forestry in developing countries, on increasing awareness of the issue, and on improving documentation and accessibility of information on the subject.

Extractions: MARY L. DURYEA Professor, Reforestation and Urban Forestry Mary Duryea joined the School in 1985 and has more than 20 year of experience in reforestation of temperate and tropical forests. Her research is in reforestation and urban forestry. She leads extension programs in reforestation and urban forestry. Urban and community forests are often managed as individual trees instead of whole forest ecosystems. Cities inventory and manage these tree species to meet many important needs such as energy conservation, beauty, and recreation in the city. Yet, there are many opportunities for urban forest restoration to provide additional ecological benefits such as storm-water management, wildlife management, and biodiversity. Restoring the urban forest ecosystem is reestablishing the ecological health of the urban forest ecosystem. The goal of restoration is to return the urban forest to a form which is more ecologically sustainable for the community; the restored urban forest will contribute positively to the community instead of being a drain on its resources.

Extractions: The Urban Forestry Program The Urban Forestry Program seeks to work with the citizens of Connecticut in the improvement of the state's urban and community forests. These forests include the trees along the roads and highways of the state, in its parks and recreation areas, and in its residential and commercial neighborhoods. The state's urban and community forests fill its cities, such as New Haven ( at left ), its towns and its villages. These are the trees most closely associated with the people and structures of Connecticut - the ones that the vast majority of Connecticut's citizens come into contact with every day.

How to Contact Us America the Beautiful Grants Each year, the Urban Forestry Program makes available federal grant money to towns, cities and non-profits in the state, to further the advance of urban forestry in Connecticut. The funds have gone to such diverse projects as tree planting, street tree inventories, tree maintenance programs and the design of tree guidebooks. The America the Beautiful grant requires that the recipient of the grant provide additional funding or in-kind services equal in value to the grant amount. Over the past several years, the maximum grant amount has been $3,000. The period of the grant is from July 1 to June 30th of the following year, with grant applications due during the month of May.
