[CANUFNET] The Sustainable Urban Forest: A Step-by-Step Approach

[Andrew Kenney via CANUFNET]

The Sustainable Urban Forest: A Step-by-Step Approach is now available online at www.itreetools.org. Developed as part of a collaboration between the U.S. Forest Service and the Davey Institute, the free handbook is designed to help urban forest managers assess the state of their urban forest, identify issues and opportunities, and chart a path toward long-term sustainability. A self-assessment method, based on the pioneering "Model of Urban Forest Sustainability" first developed by Jim Clark and colleagues in 1997 and updated by Andy Kenney, Philip van Wassenaer and Alex Satel in 2011, forms a cornerstone of the guide. The assessment tool enables users to set goals and track progress on numerous targets within three broad categories: Trees and Forest, Community Framework, and Resource Management Approach.
