Urban Forestry

One of the great things about living in Oregon is that there's so much natural beauty to be explored, and many cities around the state aim to integrate that natural beauty into urban environments as well. Albany and Corvallis, for example, each boast robust urban forestry programs designed to protect natural resources, encourage the healthy growth of trees, and educate the community on how urban forests are maintained. 

Albany Urban Forestry Program

In addition to the many day-to-day activities of the Albany Urban Forestry Program, there are special programs like NeighborWoods and the Heritage Tree Program.
