become a citizen forester

If
you are ready to take it to the next level, want to receive
“hands-on” training and can make a long-term commitment, then
Citizen Forester is for you!
The Citizen Forester program presents a wonderful opportunity for
individuals to become skilled at planting, pruning, and maintaining
trees. It also provides interested persons with the chance to get
involved with local city and county municipalities and help their
community take care of its public trees. Among many other projects,
Citizen Foresters will be capable of assisting with city tree
inventories, training and pruning of newly established trees,
measuring street trees for clearance, pruning crape myrtles on
public property, mulching trees in public parks, and participating
in city or county tree planting programs and tree give-away events.
The Citizen Forester is funded in part by a grant from the Cross
Timbers Urban Forestry Council whose mission is to promote
programs in the region to increase interest in urban and community
forestry, as well as educate the public about the importance of the
Cross Timbers ecosystem.
Learn about the training
and volunteer projects Citizen Foresters have been participating in.
