The Morton Arboretum Community Trees Program: Managing our Urban and Community Forest

Beth Corrigan, Community Trees Program Specialist, The Morton Arboretum, ISA Certified Arborist, IL 9090-A, BS, Industrial Technology. The Morton Arboretum’s Community Trees Program helps communities, public and private landowners, land managers, tree professionals, and groups interested in trees to effectively manage and care for our urban and community forest. Our urban and community forest is not just the trees found in our nature preserves and parks, but also the trees along streets, outside office buildings, within homeowners associations, and even in private yards.
