Subject: Landscaping of Boulevards
Hello: given that xeriscaping has become a popular choice of landscape
maintenance, a number of residents of our city are requesting permission
to landscape the boulevards attached to their homes using xeriscaping
principles.  Does any community out there have a written policy
regarding xeriscaping or landscaping of their boulevards?  We are in the
process of developing such a policy and would appreciate input from
other communities.

Hello:

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN has just opened its new
urban and community forestry web site.  This is a great glimpse into
urban
forestry at the international level.  I encourage you to have a look and
contribute to the site where you can.  As you will see, one of the
objectives is to assist our colleagues in less developed countries.

Cheers,

Andy
