A Brief Historical Perspective of Urban Forests in CanadaIn recent years, a greater amount of interest has been in expressed in urban forests – partly as a result of increasing urbanization but also due to new threats including the invasive insect, emerald ash borer. Urban forests in Canada have been dominated by three themes: superficial support by the provincial and federal governments, individuals’ commitment to developing urban forests of excellence, and awareness and action fueled by natural disaster. | Michael Rosen, R.P.F. |

Canadian Urban Forest Strategy (2013-2018)The Canadian Urban Forest Strategy (CUFS) was first articulated in 2006 as a strategic initiative of Canada’s urban forest practitioners including: foresters, managers, arborists, planners, community workers and politicians. It coincided with Canada’s National Forest Strategy (1988-2008) a government, NGO and private sector coalition whose aim was to move Canada towards forest sustainability. The final iteration (2003-2008) of the National Forest Strategy included a section on urban forests. | Dr. Adrina C. Bardekjian |

So too is another friend, certainly not as widely used but no less important to us ... and to our car. A tree! Trees can be a car’s best friend because they help remove atmospheric CO2 from the air. | Nigel T. Roulet, Ph.D Bill Freedman, PH.D |
