Welcome to the UW-Stevens Point branch of the Student Society of Arboriculture.
UWSP SSA - October 2007
About Us:
We are the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point Student Society
of Arboriculture, a student branch of the Wisconsin
Arborists Association (a chapter of The
International Society of Arboriculture) Our organization caters to students
interested in the care of trees in an urban environment.
We define the urban forest as the aggregate of all vegetation and green spaces within communities that provide benefits vital to enriching the quality of life. We believe that properly cared for and well-managed urban forests can provide benefits that far exceed their management costs. Urban forests can also bring communities of people together and form connections between humans and the urban flora and fauna. (credtit)
Simply stated, urban forestry is the planning, management, and research of urban forests. As cities continue to grow, increasing numbers of people will choose to live, work, and play in urban forests, making the field of urban forestry critical for healthy and sustainable living. (credtit)
