Natural areas in cities are an important form of
"nearby nature" that contribute to the health and
wellbeing of four out of five Americans. These spaces
are also critical for protecting biodiversity and mit-
igating the impacts of climate change, making up
84% or 1.7 million acres of community parkland.
Urban forests include forested natural areas or
woodlands that require devoted management and
long-term investment to remain a community asset.
In October 2019, twelve U.S. cities came together
to discuss the science and practice of managing
forests in cities. The result is a special issue in
the journal Cities and the Environment on "The
Science and Practice of Managing Forests in
Cities." The issue describes successful approaches
and challenges to caring for and preserving
these forest patches. For more information,
