Welcome...
Urban and community forestry involves the planting, care and management of the trees where we live. The trees and related vegetation in our cities are an important asset that needs to be managed in order to maintain community livability. The
urban forest is the mosaic of the planted landscape and the remnant native forests left behind as our cities have developed. The health of this urban forest contributes to both the economic and the environmental well-being of our communities.
On these pages you will find more information about urban forestry, about the Oregon Department of Forestry´s Urban and Community Forestry Assistance program, and about how to properly plant and care for the trees in your yard, your neighborhood, or your town.
