A Plan for Urban and Community Forestry in Massachusetts The Massachusetts Urban and Community Forestry Program assists communities and nonprofit groups in protecting, growing, and managing community trees and forest ecosystems, with the ultimate aim of improving the environment and enhancing livability of all of Massachusetts' communities. We provide grants, technical assistance, training, and recognition awards to communities of all sizes throughout Massachusetts. The program also provides guidance on urban forestry policy issues at the state level. What is Urban and Community Forestry? Urban and community forests are the trees, plants and associated ecosystems anywhere where people are - country roads in rural towns, new developments in the suburbs, or concrete neighborhoods in cities and old mill towns. Our landscape is a continuum from rural forest to city center. We live, work, play and learn all along this continuum. Urban and Community Forestry is Not Just about Trees.

Extractions: Search: The urban forest is the complex system of trees and smaller plants, wildlife, associated organisms, soil, water and air in and around our city. It is the trees along our streets and in our parks, the vegetation around our homes and businesses, and the plants in the natural areas throughout the city. The urban forest provides beauty and benefits to Portland residents. It provides improved air and water quality, savings from decreased heating and cooling costs and increased property resale values. The urban forest is vital to our efforts to restore fish and wildlife habitat. It provides countless opportunities for recreation and makes our neighborhoods more pleasing. It plays a significant role in the high quality of life that Portland residents enjoy. Some of the benefits of the urban forest can be measured. The energy saved, the water kept out of treatment plants, and the benefits of cleaner air can be quantified. It is estimated that one large residential tree produces $4,000 of net economic benefit over its first fifty years1 and increases residential resale values by 6 to 9%.2 The trees in the Portland metropolitan region save over $20 billion in storm water costs by eliminating the need for expensive treatment, as well as saving nearly $2 million annually in summer energy savings.3 Other benefits are less easily measured, but no less valuable. We use the urban forest for recreation and depend on it for spiritual renewal. The aesthetic and inspirational value of the hundreds of thousands of trees in Portland's urban forest is incalculable.

Even when land costs are high and space is at a premium, trees soften the hard lines of manmade structures, add color, absorb excess noise, filter the air, provide shade, and may increase property values. Urban forests of Tennessee are experiencing new demands and pressures as interest grows in greenways, heat islands, and storm water control. Encroachment by development, invasions of gypsy moths and exotic plants like honeysuckle and privet, and problems with soil compaction threaten the health and vitality of urban forests.

Entry to Postgraduate Diploma may be achieved by appropriate HND qualification. The importance of the urban forest has long been recognised through the many benefits it brings to town and city life. The establishment, management and regeneration of this urban tree and woodland resource have been identified as government priorities in several different policy documents. Although the benefits of the urban forest have been recognised for many years, the concept of its sustainable management and urban forestry as a profession is relatively recent. As such, specific qualifications in urban forestry have been extremely limited to date.
