From: todd clark City: chicago, IL
Hi there, I work for a landscape architect firm in the city of Chicago and we are doing a streetscape planting plan. I'm looking for the latest info or construction details for planting street trees in engineered soils. Do have any info on this subject. Any info would be great, thanks, todd

Greetings Todd: Since urban and community forestry is not my area of expertise, I recommend contacting Tom Dilley with the USDA Forest Service, Urban Forestry, out of Evanston, IL. Tom should be able to steer you in the right direction. http://www.ncrs.fs.fed.us/people/Dilley Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but my forestry expertise is more traditional forest management and silviculture. -Jay
