The Urban Forestry Working Group of the Society of American Foresters

Abstract

The objective of the Society of American Foresters is followed by a discussion of the role of the Forest Science Board, Subject Areas, and Working Groups. The Urban Forestry Working Group is presented in this context. A history of the UFWG is given, along with current goals of the group which include a tour and technical session to be held in conjunction with the SAF annual meeting. The roles of the UFWG and ISA are similar and professional contacts between the two is encouraged and regional technical workshops should be considered for co-sponsorship.
