About the Sustainable Urban Forests Coalition (SUFC)

SUFC is the nation’s only network of nonprofits, businesses, associations, foundations, and others working together to advance sound, effective urban forest policy and practices. 

Our broad and growing membership represents urban planners, educators, arborists, landscape architects, public works and utility associations, air and water quality experts, foresters, scientists, health professionals, tree care companies, landscape and nursery associations, conservationists, and community advocates.
