Urban Forestry & Tree Planting
Forestry isn’t limited to managing trees in wild and rural areas. Many towns, cities, and other municipalities have discovered the impact that “green infrastructure” plays in their communities. Some of these benefits include improved air quality, heat reduction, energy savings, mental and physical health enhancement, stormwater management, and even increased property values. Urban forestry services that I offer include:
Tree Inventories – Learn how many and what kinds of trees you have
Ash Tree Assessments – most of the ash trees in Pennsylvania are dead or in decline because of the Emerald Ash Borer pest. By knowing where ash trees and potential hazards are located, this can assist with risk mitigation and of areas where new trees can be planted
Invasive Species Surveys and Management Plans – Understand where invasive plant species are located and at what density, and then provide strategies that can be implemented to help control them
Tree Planting - Planting trees can do a lot for an urban setting, from creating green spaces to improving air quality and so much more
