Natural Solutions Urban Forestry

Our mission is to improve the environment and thereby the human experience by providing consulting services that protect and improve the urban ecosystem using sustainable urban tree, vegetation, and wildlife management practices.

Urban Forest Planning

Understanding the specific benefits trees provide is a fundamental component of tree management. Other than the obvious aesthetic beauty they provide, trees offer a host of environmental, biological, social, and economic dividends that, in the long view, far exceed the cost of planting, pruning, and protecting them.

Natural Solutions Urban Forestry provides arbor consulting services that can assist you in promoting and preserving your urban forest and improving your management of your public trees

Research has proven that our mental and physical health is directly tied to our connection to greenspace and that social equity cannot be achieved without providing inclusive access to greenspace.
