Urban Forestry

In a significant majority of Ohioans live and/or work within urban areas. The quality of life for them and their families depends on the urban environment.

Healthy, safe, and functional trees improve our cities and towns by improving clean air and water, increasing property values, reducing erosion and stormwater runoff, providing wildlife habitat, moderating temperature, lessening energy demands, and offering year-round enjoyment.
