Differences between Urban Forestry and Rural Forestry??
Answers
Arboriculture is the care of a single tree, while urban forestry deals with forests as systems in a developed setting. Specifically, arboriculture includes caring for the well-being of individual trees, such as planting, pruning, evaluations, and management. Urban forestry is broader and refers to the planning, establishment, protection and management of trees, not only individually, but in groups or within a developed urban setting.
Answer:
Urban forestry is the care and management of single trees and tree populations in urban settings for the purpose of improving the urban environment. Urban forestry advocates the role of trees as a critical part of the urban infrastructure. Urban foresters plant and maintain trees, support appropriate tree and forest preservation, conduct research and promote the many benefits trees provide. Urban forestry is practiced by municipal and commercial arborists, municipal and utility foresters, environmental policymakers, city planners, consultants, educators, researchers and community activists.
