The Cornell Communities and Urban Forests Program is an extension and applied
research program within
Cornell University's Department of Natural Resources.  
The focus of the program is increasing understanding about the important role of
community forestry in urban contexts to build social and ecological resilience to
disturbances such as natural disasters, climate change, or other  events.  The
program also aims to  increase awareness about the many psychological, social,
and environmental benefits of maintaining, expanding, and protecting the urban
forest.
