Tree Guides
Our Tree Guides identify and describe the benefits and costs of planting trees in a specific climate zone to assist community officials and tree managers increase public awareness and support for tree programs. They answer a number of questions about the environmental and aesthetic benefits community trees provide:
- What is their potential to improve environmental quality, conserve energy, and add value to communities?
- Where should residential and public trees be placed to maximize their cost-effectiveness?
- Which tree species will minimize conflicts with powerlines, sidewalks, and buildings?
Printed copies of the Interior West, Temperate Interior West, Northeast, Piedmont, Coastal Plain, and Midwest Tree Guides can be ordered here. Printed copies of the Desert Southwest Tree Guide can be ordered by contacting the Office of the State Forester of Arizona (602-771-1400, louisewakem@azstatefire.org). The other, earlier Tree Guides are only available in digital form.
