Urban forestry

What is that about?

Urban forestry is a science which studies trees in an urban environment. It is a specific branch of forestry, based on the fact that, in cities, a tree has at once a social, environmental and an economic purpose.

In our language, we say that a tree growing in a city is suffering from stress factors. These factors differ from the ones found in a forest setting. Urban forestry allows us to recognize them, and act on them, in order to maintain the trees in good health.
