Yokohama City Forest Creation Guidelines

This guideline is a technical guideline for effective and efficient management of forest land for citizens' forests, contact forests, and municipal green spaces under the jurisdiction of the Park and Green Space Office. The contents of this guideline are summarized with the advice of experts and local people who have been active in the forest of Yokohama City for many years, in addition to the skills and experience cultivated by Yokohama City staff so far. Therefore, although there may be differences from general knowledge and academic views, please understand as "the wisdom of the field of Yokohama".
In addition, the details and schedule of the work are described in this guideline. These are extracted and described elements that are considered to be the most common to the forests found in Yokohama City. In many cases, the content of this guideline is likely to apply. However, the content and timing of the work vary depending on the detailed situation at the site and the climate of the year. In some cases, it may be an option not to do the listed work, but please judge the situation at the site comprehensively and use it.
