AB  - Urban forestry is a specialized branch of forestry which is multi-managerial in nature involving forests, watersheds, wildlife, outdoor recreation, landscape esthetics, individual tree care, waste recycling, and wood production. It encompasses many disciplines other than traditional forestry, including arboriculture, horticulture, plant pathology, landscape architecture, entomology, community planning and development, and political science. Universities need to revise their curriculum structures in urban forestry to reflect aspects other than traditional forestry so that graduates are better qualified to work in this field.
