The Time For Trees Is Now

An arboretum is a fancy word for a collection of trees. This collection can be purposed for education, science, propagation, beauty and aesthetic, research, or any other mix of reasons. In the case of the Urban Arboretum, the collection is mainly for beauty and education.

An urban forest is also a collection of trees that grow within the confines of a municipality. This urban forest provides a direct link to nature and the benefits this link provides while still residing symbiotically within the city or town.

Aside from the obvious benefit of making a space more aesthetically pleasing, the arboretum and, more specifically, the urban forest provide a positive economic, sociological, and environment impact. This positive role can be utilized by a city, town, or neighborhood for the benefit of the residents and municipality itself.

Street Trees- filtering air, sunlight, and water; safer local conditions; shade; local business benefit and tourism; improved property values, etc.

Parks- recreation, improved mental and physical health, family space, community space, etc.
