FAO Urban Forestry Programme The FAO Programme on Urban and Periurban forestry. FAO Viale delle Terme diCaracalla E-mail Michelle Gauthier@fao.org. urban forestry Bibliography. http://www.fao.org/forestry/for/forc/urbfor/urbfor-e.stm
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: The purpose of the Urban and Community Forestry Program is to create sustainable urban forests to help improve the quality of urban environments and the quality of life. Program staff work to: Arrest the decline of urban forests through proper management and planting of trees in communities. Improve and encourage employment opportunities associated with urban forestry activities. Maximize the potential use of tree and vegetation cover to reduce energy consumption, improve air and water quality, and produce an assortment of products. Encourage coordination of federal, state, and local efforts to promote citizen participation in the development and implementation of urban forestry activities. The structure and delivery of the program is built upon cooperative relationships between agencies, and contractual agreements with nonprofit organizations. Participating groups include the Urban Forest Ecosystems Institute (UFEI) which was developed by the Natural Resources Management department faculty within Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to address the increasing need for improved management of urban forests in California, the California ReLeaf organization, an association of non-profit tree planting groups, and the California Urban Forest Council which focuses on technical and institutional issues of urban forest management.

Extractions: Quercus palustris , pin oak, Boston Common The urban forest plays an important role in Boston's landscape. The urban forest consists not only of all the treed areas in Boston (streets, yards, urban wilds, cemeteries, and parks) but also shrubs, grasses, herbaceous ground cover, soil, and our waterways. Trees contribute to the well being of our communities by: moderating our local climate (did you know that on warm summer days, the air in urban areas can be 6-8°F hotter than its surrounding areas?) The Parks Department is the agency with regulatory and operational responsibilities for public shade trees. The Departments maintenance program includes pruning, disease control, removals, and storm damage repairs. We plant public shade trees throughout Boston's 22 neighborhoods. Each street tree signifies the Mayors commitment to a greener Boston. The Department plants in the fall and in the spring. Planting locations are primarily chosen based on resident requests.

Extractions: Forestry Program Information Urban Forestry Staff Grant Information ... Urban Forestry Program Resources What is an urban forest? It is all of the trees and other vegetation in and around a town, village or city. Traditionally it has referred to tree-lined streets, but an urban forest also includes trees in home landscapes, school yards, parks, riverbanks, cemeteries, vacant lots, utility rights-of-way, adjacent woodlands and anywhere else trees can grow in and around a community of any size . Shrubs, flowers, vines, ground covers, grass, and a variety of wild plants and animals also are part of the urban forest. Streets, sidewalks, buildings, utilities, soil, topography and, most importantly, people are an integral part of the urban forest.

Even in areas where land costs are high and space is at a premium, trees soften the hard lines of manmade structures, add color, absorb excess noise, filter the air, provide shade, and may increase property values. Urban forests of Tennessee are experiencing new demands and pressures as interest in greenways, heat islands, and storm water control escalates. Additionally, encroachment by development and construction, invasions of gypsy moths and exotic plants like honeysuckle and privet, and problems with soil compaction threaten the health and vitality of urban forests.

Extractions: What is Urban Forestry? At first, the term "urban forestry" may seem confusing. Most people think that forests are just hundreds of acres of woodland in rural areas. However, over half of Kentuckians live in an urban setting, and they are surrounded by an urban forest. Urban trees are those in an individual's yard, lining city streets, forests in a local park, and trees along greenspace areas in and around cities. They provide a great deal of benefits to the urban landscape. Urban forests are a valuable asset to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These forests should be managed for their social, economic and environmental benefits. Proper management can be obtained through a comprehensive urban forestry program that includes citizen support and a properly trained work force. Urban forests provide three main benefits. The economic benefits that urban forests provide are definitely very important. Trees attract tourists and businesses, by creating an inviting place to stay. They also increase the property value of homes and industrial properties; most people would choose a nicely shaded lot over a bare one! Finally, they can reduce the amount of electricity needed to heat and air condition homes and businesses.
