Urban Forest Stewardship: From Assessment to Action

Savannah’s urban forest is iconic, earning it the nickname “The Forest City”. Trees have been part of the urban plan since the city was founded in 1733, and the city has been planting and managing street trees for over 130 years. Stewarding this urban forest starts with managing community trees, wherever they grow. Join the Georgia Tree Council and Bartlett Tree Experts in Savannah on July 8 to learn how to implement the strategies Savannah urban forestry professionals utilize to maintain Savannah’s exceptional urban forest.

Topics include: 

• developing and implementing tree care plans
• preventive care for public trees
• growth regulators as a management strategy 
• tree management in unincorporated areas
• invasive plant management and removal in urban forests
• nonprofit initiatives for expanding canopy coverage
