Product Description

From Library Journal

Although the destruction of tropical rain forests grabs the headlines, the effect of pollution, concrete, and people on trees in city parks and along city streets also can be devastating to the environment. This excellent manual, published under the auspices of the American Forestry Association, tells what can be done to preserve and extend our urban forests. Among topics covered are the proper care for city trees; hardy species; urban design; and citizen education and action. Professional foresters, gardeners, and horticulturists, as well as concerned citizens needing to know how to protect and preserve the green areas in their cities, should find this a valuable reference. The appendixes include a bibliography of books, pamphlets, and magazines; a list of audiovisual and other educational aids; and a list of organizations with resources to help individuals and citizen groups. Highly recommended for all public libraries.
