Due to the lck of nformton on the vlblty n chrcterstcs of urbn woo resul bomss, proper mngement of ths vluble mterl s not populr n the renewble energy sector. Currently muncpltes py sgnfcnt vlues for mntennce of urbn green spce n few processes re pple to offset these expenses [McKeever, Skog, Sol Wste ]. Most of urbn woo wste bomss s not further processe n lns up n lnflls [McFrlne 7]. A new n comprehensve pproch to wste mngement n urbn forests n cty prks coul contrbute to locl n regonl economes [McFrlne 9]. Moreover, the lck of precse nformton on the quntty n qulty of the rw mterl s well s bsc enrometrc chrcterstcs of speces n relton wth potentl bomss cretes brrer to the rtonl use of ths mterl.
