Urban Forestry: Planning and Managing Urban Greenspaces, Third Edition
by Robert Miller, Richard Hauer and Les Werner 
​
​Written by three of my former professors at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, this third edition of Urban Forestry addresses current issues in planning, establishing, and managing trees, forests, and other elements of nature in urban and community ecosystems. The authors discuss why we have trees in cities and how we use them, clarify the appraisal and inventory of urban vegetation, and extensively delve into the planning and management of public as well as private vegetation.

Urban Forests: A Natural History of Trees and People in the American Cityscape
by Jill Jonnes

Jill Jonnes’s Urban Forests is a  wide-ranging natural history of the tree in American cities over the course of the past two centuries. Jonnes’s survey ranges from early sponsors for the Urban Tree Movement to the fascinating stories of particular species (including Washington, DC’s famed cherry trees, and the American chestnut and elm, and the diseases that almost destroyed them) to the institution of Arbor Day to the most recent generation of tree evangelists who are identifying the best species to populate our cities’ leafy canopies. ​​
