What is the UFI?

The Urban Forestry Institute (UFI) conference is the annual meeting and conference hosted by the Florida Urban Forestry Council (FUFC). The UFI supports the FUFC in its mission to promote the value, enhancement and sound management of urban forests through leadership, collaboration, guidance and education. The UFI brings together a diversity of professional members to “talk trees” and share urban forestry concepts and solutions.

Some additional reasons to attend:

  • Learn about current research and technology
  • Get updates on grants and other resources
  • Network with colleagues
  • Earn CEUs
The FUFC held its first annual UFI conference in March 2012 at the University of Central Florida. At this first event, S.O.A.P. was introduced as an acronym for Staffing, Ordinance, Advocacy, and Planning – the four key components for successful urban forestry management. The UFI continues as an annual event and a premier offering to FUFC members and Florida’s tree community. We hope to see you this year!
