Community Forestry in Pennsylvania
Community forests are among our most precious resources, yet many communities do not fully enjoy their benefits. Some community trees are declining due to old age, improper maintenance, diseases, and wounds resulting from building construction, roads, sidewalks, and utility lines. Deteriorating trees that are hazardous to people and property should be removed and replaced with carefully selected species. Communities can enhance their trees, greenspaces, and wildlife by implementing a comprehensive and sustainable community forestry management plan. This six-panel brochure explains how to get started.
