This course introduces concepts related to the management of urbanized landscapes, focusing on what comprises the urban forest, its function as a natural system and the value of urban forests as an environmental and social catalyst. Examination of what makes up the urban forest, how these components function and the importance of sustainable urban natural landscapes will be undertaken.

At the end of this course, students should have all of the basic skills to successfully design, implement, and analyze a survey. Although the content of the course will have a natural resources focus, the principles will be applicable to all surveys of people. After an overview of the survey process, the class will discuss the different types of surveys and their relative strengths and weaknesses. Next, the class will study the ?Dillman? method for designing surveys. The practical elements of implementing a survey, including the Internal Review Board process, will be discussed.
