Urban Forest Management
Caring for your urban forest is more important now than ever. Arborwell tree health care professionals understand the crucial role city trees play in society today, when more than 80% of Americans live in urban areas. We recognize each urban landscape is unique, from green spaces squeezed next to parking lots, to those nestled between private business grounds, and stretching across sprawling public parks. These areas require proper care to mitigate the many risks of the urban forest environment. Our tree health care professionals can help you devise a proactive urban forest management plan for your Seattle property. We can work together to safeguard your trees, ensuring maximum lifespan, lasting value, and long-term benefit to the community.
Why Forest Management Is Important
Well-managed outdoor spaces provide significant benefits to people and wildlife. Seattle’s green spaces offer a beautiful setting for residents to enjoy, as well as a habitat for animals. City trees are beneficial to the environment on multiple fronts, providing cooling shade to reduce the urban heat island effect and cooling system use. They reduce noise, improve air and water quality, and control runoff. Trees also add visual appeal and value to your property. Without proper care, however, you may not enjoy these important benefits.
