Municipal Forest Management

Managing trees in our cities, towns or villages requires public awareness, support and planning. Concerned residents and other grass roots groups can be the catalyst in stimulating development of community forestry programs. However, successful management requires a partnership between the municipality and residents. CCE assists municipalities in proactive urban forest management in partnership with the Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University through a program entitled the Student Weekend Arborist Team http://www.hort.cornell.edu/commfor/
