URBAN FORESTRY is the management of the vegetation in urban and urbanizing areas. The authors have taken URBAN AREA to mean an area where man has significantly affected the 'natural' ecosystems by creating areas for residence and commerce. The street tree subsystem probably has received the most intensive management. The park subsystem probably has the longest history of management, going back to managed 'commons' and European community woodlots and forests. Only recently have the trees and vegetation on urban private lands, both residential and institutional, been actively considered part of the urban forest albeit the most difficult to manage.
