How can the Community Forestry Program assist your city
or town?
The staff of the Community Forestry Program advises and
assists counties, municipalities and local organizations in
developing and implementing community forestry activities, including:
- Proper tree selection, planting and maintenance
- Community involvement
- Ordinance development
- Public awareness and education
- Insect and disease management
- Long-term strategies for natural resource planning
In addition to technical assistance, the State Forestry
Services helps in the promotion and formation of state and
local advocacy groups for the care and planting of trees.
Training meetings and technical and organizational workshops
are provided to encourage ongoing public participation and
increase volunteer support.
This guide outlines the programs offered by the Community
Forestry Program. Each grant, outreach and award program has
been designed to assist communities in developing their own
community forestry programs, as well as provide the technical
assistance to help these local program achieve long-term success.
