Abstract

Abstract Between 1975 and 1980 the number of North American university undergraduate courses identified by "urban forestry" in the course title or catalogue description increased from 11 to 20, with 9 more planned for the immediate future. Graduate courses advanced from six to eight in the same period. Instructors' multi-disciplinary backgrounds, comprehensive urban forestry course content, and well-balanced curricula incorporating courses from sister disciplines seem to ensure a high quality education for potential urban foresters throughout North America. More attention must be given to recruiting and retaining minority students who could promote social solidarity through inner-city "greening" programs.
