Trained foresters may not beat residents at tending local greenspace as city residents improvise practical tree care. Dr. Norman A. notes residents take initiative in urban forestry, shaping streetscapes with inventive pruning and selection.
Syracuse hosts a dense urban forest with about 400000 trees, 24 percent of land shaded, and 39000 street trees. Researchers from the Forest Service and ESF study species distribution and environmental impact to quantify how urban trees affect air quality and the city ecosystem. Dr. Rowan Rowntree leads the project focusing on structure, function, and benefits of urban forests.
ESF researchers study Syracuse greenspace, finding pioneer wind blown trees add pollen and shade while residents care for yards differently by front and back spaces. 58 percent greenspace, maples common. 70,000 decision makers influence policy, not citywide plans.
Dr James Palmer and colleagues at ESF studied three Syracuse areas to map greenspace priorities. They found city-wide views similar, but neighborhood differences in yard and park concerns, with poorer South Side residents less focused on park upkeep than richer Valley and West Side residents.
