The Unique Value of Forest Patches Within CitiesThere are 1.7 million acres of natural forested land embedded within U.S. cities. These forest patches are unique spaces in cities and provide a raft of benefits to urban residents, such as carbon sequestration and storage, stormwater capture, and air purification to provide a place that enhances mental health and social cohesion. But despite their prevalence in cities and importance, these forests are often underfunded and lack consistent management.
The Forests in Cities Network is a national network dedicated to promoting and advancing healthy forested natural areas in cities across America through science, management, partnerships, and communications. In this session, you’ll learn about the value of forested natural areas, and the advancements made by this national network, including an innovative online resource library–the first and only curated source for urban forested natural areas managers and other practitioners to explore best practices, research, and case studies. Finally, we’ll share a management framework for urban natural areas that draw on common practice in rural forests–a practice called silviculture, which relies heavily on spatial analysis.
