Illinois Green Industry Association's Guidelines

Check out the Illinois Green Industry Association's Guidelines for Growing, Installing, and Maintaining Healthy Trees for a wealth of up-to-date info. SMA member Bob Benjamin and others participated in the process of developing these new guidelines, based upon the latest tree research.

Save Urban Timber

Every year in our cities and towns, thousands of trees and the lumber they contain are thrown away in landfills, buried on construction sites, ground up for mulch, or cut for firewood.

At the same time, we pay dearly at lumber yards and home centers for many of the hardwoods and softwoods we continue to burn, bury, grind, and throw away.

The Harvesting Urban Timber website urges you to support a "tree-roots" effort to make better use of urban timber by saving the best logs for lumber.
