Preface
The history and goals of the Metropolitan Tree Improvement
Alliance have been well covered in an article in
the Journal of Arboriculture 4(3): 62-66, 1978. Following
the enthusiasm generated by the Symposium "Better
Trees for Metropolitan Landscapes" that was held
at the U.S. National Arboretum, November 4-6, 1975,
METRIA held its first regular meeting in July 1976.
This is the Proceedings of that meeting.
Acknowledgements
The officers and members of METRIA are deeply indebted
to their counterparts in the Northeastern Forest
Tree Improvement Confernece for allowing us to "tag
along" in a joint-meeting format for our initial
venture. All participants believed that this arrangement
was of benefit to all parties.
We also gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of
the U. S. Forest Service, Northeastern Area, State
and Private Forestry in providing support and publication
of these Proceedings. "Urban Forestry" is a multi-faceted
discipline requiring the cooperation and interest
of all concerned with the future of "trees for people."
