This review is from: Handbook of Urban and Community Forestry in the Northeast (Hardcover)

This is an excellent review of Urban Forestry practices in general and certainly the permier book for UF in the northeast! Topics are up-to-date and efficiently covered. Contributing editors are some of the top people in the field of Arboricultue/Urban Foresty. Most chapters have excellent examples/visuals and references. A must have for anyone concerned about trees the the urban environment. Cost is steep ... let's hope for a soft-cover edition!
