Who Are We
The Indiana Urban Forest Council,
established in 1991, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the
public awareness of protecting, expanding and improving Indiana's urban
forests. The Council serves as a resource and liaison concerning urban
forestry issues within the state and nation. Our Mission
The
Indiana Urban Forest Council promotes public understanding of the need
for trees and other natural resources in and along parks, green space
areas, streets, and urban woodlands and assists Indiana communities in
protecting, expanding, and improving their urban forests. Our Goals
The
IUFC strives to promote ideal community forest practices to the public
and private organizations and seeks to establish sustainable urban
forests in all communities, while assisting all municipalities
educationally, to plant and maintain trees properly. The IUFC also
collaborates with IDNR, Community and Urban Forestry to widen the
public's understanding and appreciation for the value of urban trees
and forests in our Indiana communities and to preserve and renew
Indiana's community forests. Membership to the IUFC
