To continue investing in advocacy and policy efforts, everyone needs to contribute!

Priorities will continue to be set by the Policy Council, a coalition of organizations allied to support urban forestry.

Please note: California Urban Forests Council is collecting funds to cover our joint advocacy efforts benefiting our industry overall. Any funds collected will be strictly tracked for advocacy and outreach efforts addressing policy issues in Sacramento. CaUFC will not use any of these funds for any other purpose and financial documents will be made available upon request as appropriate.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Nancy Hughes at 415-479-8733 or Connie Gallippi at 916-558-1516.
Thank you!
