AB Urban forestry programs in the Chicago suburbs provide services through contracts, in-house methods, and a combination of the two. The main element that guarantees a successful urban forestry program is community support through media public relations. Offering professional consulting services as a public service also promotes the necessary community support. Many programs in the Chicago area started as a result of the spread of Dutch elm disease and it is imperative to maintain these programs after the crisis is over. Cooperation and an open forum among the various professionals working in the urban forest at different levels, is another factor that aids in the continuation of urban forestry programs.
