Urban and Community Forestry

Florida currently has 135 cities with the Tree City USA designation. We want to help YOU become a Tree City TOO.

The primary emphasis of Florida’s Urban and Community Forestry (U&CF) program is on providing technical, financial, and educational resources to support the development and continuing viability of local urban forestry programs. These resources are targeted to meet the needs of local governments, non-profit organizations, primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and the general public. Delivery is accomplished through partnerships with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS), the Florida Urban Forestry Council (FUFC), and other organizations and entities.

Tree Canopy"There is no aristocracy in trees. They are not haughty. They will thrive near the humblest cabin just as well as they will in the shadow of a king's palace. There is a true triumph in the unswerving integrity and genuine democracy of trees."
