Bad redirect
"Forest Park" redirects here. Since there are at least two famous parks actually named Forest Park, most notably Forest Park (St. Louis), along with Forest Park in Queens, "Forest Park" should redirect to those articles, not this one.--Gloriamarie 21:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Crime
There should be a section in this article about crime. Do these urban forests reduce crime, and vandalism, or do they in fact provide a haven for illegal activities?--MacRusgail (talk) 14:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Shrubs
I believe that more attention should be given to plants that do not grow as big as trees but are important nonetheless. Many birds and other wildlife like to feed, rest and nest in dense undercover, and shrubs help provide this.

Also, one of the most effective plants for carbon sequestration is the Spekboom, a shrub. http://www.urbansprout.co.za/spekboom_soaks_up_co2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drakenwolf (talk • contribs) 19:15, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
