Community Forestry Is Good Business
By Lana Robinson

Steve Houser, president of Arborilogical Services, Inc., gets the next generation exited about trees and proper tree care.
Read the PDF File
Community
Forestry is Good Business
Reprinted from the
Tree Care Industry magazine |
The country’s urban forest
trees deserve and require proper management to
achieve the maximum environmental benefit. Some
communities are fortunate enough to have a
municipal arborist on staff and a professional
forestry program. Others, however, rely on
citizen volunteers and local arborists working.
Arborists rooted in community forestry programs
find common ground with local citizens and enjoy
the fruits of their labor in myriad ways.
“The more people are in involved community
forestry, the more they appreciate trees. They
look at them in a little different light. In
doing so, that bodes well for anybody in
forestry or in the tree care business. The more
they care, and understand, the better.” - Steve
Houser |
