If you are passionate about the health and vitality of our urban green spaces, here is your chance to directly influence urban forestry efforts nationwide.
Register for the UAA webinar focusing on the National Urban and Community Forestry Ten-Year Action Plan (2027-2037), Wednesday, August 20, 2025, from 1:00 pm-2:00 pm EDT. Presented by Nancy Stremple and Daniel Drummond (USDA Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program and Advisory Council), this session is crucial for anyone invested in the future of our urban trees.
Reasons to participate:
- The existing action plan expires in 2026, and work is already underway on the next iteration.
- This webinar will empower you to understand the process, its significant impact, and the value of your participation.
- If you’re considering applying for federal grants in urban forestry, aligning with this plan can significantly increase your chances of securing funding.
- We’ll show you exactly how to submit your comments and recommendations to the Council, whether in-person, virtually, or in writing, ensuring your voice is heard.
“U.S. Forest Service Forest Plans help guide states when developing urban and community forest initiatives as well as providing insight on federal funding priorities,” says Dennis Fallon, UAA Executive Director. “To the best of my knowledge, the utility industry nor the UAA have had such a direct opportunity to provide comment and perspective during the critical plan development process.”
Your input can directly shape the future of urban forests, promoting everything from holistic planning and human well-being to environmental resilience and equitable access to green spaces.
Don’t miss this opportunity to help define the strategic roadmap for urban forestry across the U.S. Register for the webinar today! NUCFAC will also hold a focus group session at Trees & Utilities on Monday, September 9, and representatives will be at the Urban and Community Forestry Society’s (UCFS) booth on the exhibit floor.
