More Eyes on Trees: New Monitoring Resources for Urban Tree Management

Abstract

Around the world, factors such as invasive species, climate change, and increasingly variable weather have raised the importance of tree monitoring, stewardship, and planning, especially in urban areas. In the United States, USDA Forest Service scientists have collaborated with a variety of partners to develop a range of new resources to improve the health, monitoring, and stewardship of the urban forest. In the past few years, these new resources have included two field guides, five videos, more than 1,000 training sessions, and a mobile app.
