2 Definition Arboriculture is the practice and study of the care of trees. Its primary concern is the individual tree and our practices. Urban Forestry is the management of naturally occurring and planted trees in urban areas. Its primary concern is whole systems and policies.
3 Benefits of Trees Part of the heightened exposure of urban forestry is the increasing understanding of the benefits of trees. v Many of these benefits have only recently become quantified-thus validated in the public eye. v This quantification has also provided us with a tool to convey these benefits easier.
4 Benefits of Trees - Environmental The environmental benefits of trees are substantial: Ø Enhanced air quality Ø Carbon sequestering Ø Energy conservation Ø Reduction of storm water runoff and erosion Ø Noise attenuation Ø Wildlife habitat
5 Benefits of Trees - Environmental Enhanced Air Quality Ø Intercepting particulate matters Ø Absorbing gaseous contaminants through stomata
6 Benefits of Trees - Environmental Enhanced Air Quality Atmospheric contaminants Ø Sulfur dioxide Ø Nitrogen oxides Ø Ozone Ø Smog Ø Particulates Some trees produce pollutants known as biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC)
7 Benefits of Trees - Environmental Carbon Sequestering Ø Through photosynthesis, trees remove carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and stores the carbon component as sugars. Ø Trees accumulate atmospheric carbon in the form of wood (sequestering) Ø Carbon is released once the tree begins to decompose.
8 Benefits of Trees - Environmental Energy Conservation Ø Direct Benefits (Building heating and cooling) Ø Indirect Benefits (Heat Island Effect) Ø Deferred Costs of Energy Production
9 Benefits of Trees - Environmental Stormwater Runoff and Erosion Control Tree canopies intercept rain, snow and other forms of precipitation. Ø Divert precipitation Ø Decrease the impact velocity of a raindrop Ø Most effective during low-intensity storms Ø Reduces the intensity of stormwater runoff
10 Benefits of Trees - Environmental Noise Reduction Effective noise reduction from plants occurs when the planting is: Ø Dense Ø Tall Ø Wide Planting close to the noise source is more effective than further away.
11 Valuation and Appraisal The value of a tree or group of trees can be calculated in a number of ways-either environmental value or dollar value. Ø Real Estate Ø Environmental Value Ø Appraised Value Ø Extended Life of Pavement
12 Valuation and Appraisal itree is a suite of software applications developed by the USFS to determine a range of environmental benefits
13 Valuation and Appraisal The Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CTLA) has developed the most commonly used form of value appraisals used in the United States. The two primary methods used are: Replacement Method Trunk Formula Method
14 Valuation and Appraisal Replacement Method Is used for trees that are of a size that is readily available from a nursery. Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
15 Valuation and Appraisal Trunk Formula Method Is used to determine the value of a tree that is too large to obtain from a nursery. Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014 Based on: Ø Species Ø Diameter Ø Location Ø Condition
16 Planning is a key process in creating and sustaining urban forests.
17 Sustainable Urban Forests The long-term goal of the urban forester is sustainability. That is: The maintenance of ecological, social, and economic func3ons and benefits over 3me. Involves maximizing the benefits of urban forests and minimizing associated costs.
18 The Planning Process 1. What do we have? 4. Are we gemng what we want (Feedback)? 2. What do we want? 3. How do we get what we want?
19 Regulatory and Legal Issues Tree Ordinances are legal regulations designed to protect and manage trees Permits a process that allows arboricultural work to occur on public and private trees Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) a legal regulation that protects an individulal or group of trees.
20 Regulatory and Legal Issues Specifications are detailed plans to guide and define work Descriptive specifications Reference standards Performance specifications Proprietary specifications
21 Why Trees are Preserved Ø Trees perform important environmental and social functions Ø Trees add value to property Ø The community demands it Ø Part of a larger resource conservation program Successful preservation requires inclusion during the initial stages of land planning and project development. Primary goal is to provide adequate space for root and crown development.
22 Tree Inventories Inventories provide the basis from which day to day operations are facilitated and long-term policies derived. Photo Credit: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
23 Tree Inventories The type of inventory selected, including its delivery system, must be compatible with the agencies capacity to access and maintain the data efficiently. Considerations include: v Community size v Amount of tree work to be processed v Budget v Staffing Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
24 Tree Inventories Inventory Scope Street Trees Park Trees Forest System Sample Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
25 Tree Inventories Data Location Ø Management Area Ø Street Ø Address Ø Land use Ø Utilities Ø Parkway Width Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
26 Tree Inventories Data Tree Ø Species Ø Diameter Ø Condition Ø Spread Ø Height Ø Defects Ø Maintenance Needs Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
27 Tree Inventories Data Site Ø Vacant Planting Sites Ø Parkway Width Ø Parkway Type Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
28 Inventory Software Numerous commercial systems exist on the market that are either stand alone tree systems or part of a larger public works asset management program.
29 Inventory SoIware itree Streets (STRATUM) can conduct analysis using data from a complete or sample inventory. The image on the right depicts street segments randomly selected through GIS to conduct a 6% sample of the streets for the rural own of Olney, Illinois.

33 Using Inventory Information Monitor Trees Cabled Trees Monitor Trees Line of Sight Issues Using the inventory and GIS, refine the inspection procedures for problematic trees or scenarios.
34 Using Inventory Information Species Diversity Species Representation as a Percentage of the Population Share of General Population Species N= Combined % >10% <1% Total
35 Using Inventory Information Species Diversity Establishing long-term targets
36 Using Inventory Information Species Diversity Diameter Distribution for Quercus macrocarpa (Bur oak) in Oak Park The Village of Oak Park identified Bur Oak (Qercus macrocarpa) as a species whose presence they wish to increase. The long-range target is to have about 5% of the total population of 19,000 trees be Bur Oak, or 950 trees. They currently have 123, or 0.6%
37 Management Overall strategic objective is a healthy, safe, expanding, and sustainable urban forest. The community receives optimal benefits when these objectives are maximized.
38 Management Appropriate care from the time of planting to the eventual removal of the tree are the activities that allow this maximization to occur.
39 Management Stages of Tree Development: Planting Young Mature Senescent Each stage requires specific maintenance actions and policies
40 Street Tree Life Immature Semi-Mature Mature Senescent Time To meet our overall goal of an expanding and contribu-ng urban forest, we need to maximize the length of -me a tree exists in the mature phase. Immature Appropriate selec[on, placement and care. Semi-mature Appropriate care. Mature Appropriate care. Senescent Remove and replace when the no longer contributes affec[vely or risk poten[al is too great. Caveats may exist for an[quity trees.
41 Urban Wood Utilization The comprehensive recycling of wood waste in U.S. communities is still in its infancy. However, the advent of Emerald Ash Borer has provided opportunities to address the topic.
42 Urban Wood Utilization There are four primary biomass products that can produced from urban wood. They are: Compost Mulch Firewood Lumber
43 Urban Wood Utilization Product Removal Tree Construction Milling Photo Credits: Natural Path Urban Forestry, 2014
44 Wildlife The urban forest provides habitat and food for a wide range of wildlife. Trees are part of a larger ecosystem.
