Urban Forest?

What do you imagine when you read: "urban forest"? Telephone poles?
Pete next door thought I meant the wilderness area behind the Sportsplex in Dartmouth. The one that is scheduled to be paved over (I know Joni, I know...) to make room for the bus terminal.
I imagine a cool place, wild in a creative kind of way, you know: it stands opposite the Concrete Jungle. At a poetic level the Urban Forest is more than just the total number of trees that make up the canopy cover in HRM (a rapidly declining 40 percent of the city is covered ). That's the dry definition though if you were curious. Our Haligonian Urban Forest is made up mostly of Elm, Norway Maple and Linden.
