Describe where you would locate your urban forest and explain why you would locate it there. Remembe

Hi again,

I can't see how this would be so difficult. Find a local forest on the map (use Google Maps, for example), and explain where is it located (name of the roads, major intersections, the climate, and if there are any rivers that run along the forest). All this requires is a bit of research and elbow grease, without the grease.

 
You may want to plant trees that are native to the area. For example, if you're living in Canada, you'd plant species of Maple in a heavily Maple forest. In Google or Yahoo, type: tree species in ________ (wherever you live).

ok thank you ...but don't forget what is easy for you may be hard for someone else, but thanx for your help.

Fine, it's *relatively easy*

Good luck, let me know if you need more help.
