Fully updated and greatly enhanced, the Third Edition of Urban Forestry addresses current issues in planning, establishing, and managing trees, forests, and other elements of nature in urban and community ecosystems. The authors discuss why we have trees in cities and how we use them, clarify the appraisal and inventory of urban vegetation, and extensively delve into the planning and management of public as well as private vegetation. As urban forestry continues to evolve as a profession, foresters and arborists can expect many challenges as well as opportunities. The continuing development of cities has become linked to a much greater emphasis on urban vegetation, the growing demand for recreation amenities within the urban environment, and the careful and successful management of vegetation in an urban ecosystem. New ways to incorporate the highly versatile urban forest resource into the urban fabric will undoubtedly benefit the lives of its residents.

"The work contained in this report is a contribution to first-year program development activities and was prepared in fulfillment of an agreement with the Division of Water Resources. This volume contains three interrelated work elements: land use and ownership data gathering and analysis, existing land use policy -- inventory and analysis, and impact implications of shore protection measurements. The land use inventory includes an analysis of existing use patterns in the shoreline study area and the description of an information monitoring system. The policy analysis examines the policies and practices of each community toward land and water resource use and shoreline protection. The shore protection study identifies vulnerable man-made and natural conditions along the shore and inventories alternative measures for protecting the shore. The information and analysis provided in these elements will be useful in the second year for further studies of resource capacities and multiple-use needs along the Lake Michigan Shore.
