Welcome...
Urban and community forestry involves the planting, care and management of the trees where we live. The trees and related vegetation in our cities are an important asset that needs to be managed in order to maintain community livability. The urban forest is the mosaic of the planted landscape and the remnant native forests left behind as our cities have developed. The health of this urban forest contributes to both the economic and the environmental well-being of our communities.
 
On these pages you will find more information about urban forestry, about the Oregon Department of Forestry´s Urban and Community Forestry Assistance program, and about how to properly plant and care for the trees in your yard, your neighborhood, or your town. (additional program info...)

The Community Tree Management Institute (CTMI) is an advanced continuing educational curriculum offered every few years, specifically tailored to the needs of municipal parks, planning, or public works employees who have tree related responsibilities in their city. This year-long course is an intensive training experience covering the technical, managerial, and administrative aspects of managing trees in cities. This training is appropriate for anyone who coordinates community forestry issues, reviews tree plans, issues permits, or inspects trees in your city.
