Abstract: American cities need to maintain and improve their natural environment through urban forestry. The role of leading, coordinating, and stimulating an urban forestry program has been given by Congress to the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. The action role, however, for urban forestry must remain with those who can do the best job — the States, cities, and private industry. To be successful, an urban forestry program must be closely tied to a related fields. Finally, an urban forestry program can be successful only through very close cooperation of all sectors —the Federal agencies, State and local governments, universities, professional organizations, and private industry.
