	Urban forestry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban forestry is the care and management of tree populations in urban settings for the purpose of improving the urban environment.
		Urban forestry is practiced by municipal and commercial arborists, municipal and utility foresters, environmental policymakers, city planners, consultants, educators, researchers and community activists.
		However, the benefits of urban trees are many, including beautification, reduction of the urban heat island effect, reduction of stormwater runoff, reduction of air pollution, reduction of energy costs through increased shade over buildings, enhancement of property values, improved wildlife habitiat, and mitigation of overall urban environmental impact.
