Welcome to the Florida Urban Forestry Council!
The Florida Urban Forestry Council (FUFC) is a statewide, non-profit organization with a diverse membership of municipalities, arborists, utility foresters, community tree board members, tree advocates, volunteers, horticulturists, landscape professionals, and interested citizens who care about trees in their communities.
Well-managed trees are a vital part of the urban environment and enhance the quality of life in our cities, towns, and communities. The FUFC strives to educate the citizens of Florida on the importance of trees, including their benefits, as well as the best methods to plant, maintain, manage, preserve, and sustain the urban forest.

Tree Replacement Mitigation
Calculation Methods Across the Spectrum
Join us for our next Foundational Friday Webinar on June 26th at 12:00 PM ET, where we’ll discuss tree replacement mitigation requirements—from jurisdictions with no replacement requirements at all to those requiring full appraised value. This webinar offers an engaging exploration of the methods communities use to calculate mitigation, the reasoning behind those approaches, and the policy decisions that shape them.

TREE BENEFITS CALCULATOR
American Forests’ Tree Equity Score Calculator
Tree Equity Score calculates a score for all 150,000 neighborhoods and 486 municipalities in urbanized areas across the continental United States — cities and nearby small towns that have at least 50,000 people. More than 70% of the U.S. population lives in these urban places, which means the tool is wide-reaching.
