Presented by William Scott

This presentation discusses the management of trees in the urban forest. Commentary covers the development of practical management plans and plan components when dealing with both publicly and privately owned trees, as well as the challenges related to urban tree care. These challenges include sustainability, environmental/climate impact, urban soils and water, appraisal, and risk management (use of TRAQ). It also addresses the legal impacts of tree work in urban areas and introduces the concept of "Right Tree, Right Place," focusing on the use of native vs. non-native tree species and considerations when dealing with urban forest sustainability and decline. Additionally, the presentation touches on public communication and emphasizes the importance of public awareness of the benefits that trees and professional arborists provide.
