Arboriculture

Arboriculture involves the care of individual trees, focusing on proper tree planting, pruning, growing needs and tree health assessment and maintenance.

Urban forestry deals with forests systems (groups of trees) within the urban context. It is also a social science looking at economic, environmental, psychological and social benefits provided by trees.

As well as incorporating arboriculture it includes landscape level management such as urban forest inventory, valuation, planning or policy development.
