Throughout this page you will find information about the urban forest of the Madison Area. This information is a compilation of data acquired by the Urban Tree Alliance independently and through research collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our goal is to understand the urban forest as a whole (including public and private lands) so that we can make better decisions about how to manage it. Information is divided into four categories:  Canopy Cover, Species Diversity, Urban Forest Benefits, and Current Actions. If you have further questions about this information or are interested in acquiring similar data for your property, neighborhood, or city please contact us.
