Abstract
► Urban forest benefits mobilized as ecosystem services as part of ecological modernist agenda. ► Government grant funding for urban forestry expands civil sector as pedagogical actor. ► Civil sector organizations expand neoliberal, market hegemony. ► Market-based urban forestry is selective and limits capacity of trees to benefit everyone. ► Current urban forestry practice need be replaced by grassroots comprehensive alternatives as part of a political ecology of praxis.
