Meet John Snow – the incoming FUFC President for 2025. John is a seasoned FUFC member and a stout supporter of the FUFC. He has served on the FUFC Executive Board and the slate of officers for a number of years. One doesn’t need to look hard to find John’s footprint in the Strategic Plan, Urban Forestry Institute (UFI) conference, regional workshops, S.O.A.P. initiatives, inside the pages of The Council Quarterly newsletter, In A Nutshell e-bulletin, social media content, and out-and-about the FUFC mission field.
About the 2025 FUFC President
John is the Senior Urban & Community Forester and owner-operator for Tree Check Up LLC, serving homeowner associations, residential, and commercial properties. He specializes in developing management and preservation plans, tree risk assessments, management, and preservation plans for trees and properties.
John has been involved with urban forestry as early as 1993 while attending college at Western Illinois University. He has been an ISA-certified Arborist since 1996, and a Board-Certified Master Arborist (BCMA) since 2005 – a pioneer 1st to pass the BCMA Exam. John is also a recent recipient of the “Certified Urban and Community Forester (CUCF)” credential now offered through the Society of American Foresters (SAF).
John is motivated when working with people who are passionate about trees, tree care, and the conservation of natural environments. It was only a matter of time before John would find the FUFC through the UFI conference. He understands how the FUFC mission, resources, and offerings can help further arboricultural careers. Active participation puts one in a position to shape the future of Florida’s green industry. It allows members to network with other professionals and occupations. Managing urban forests requires a diverse, multidisciplinary approach which is exactly what FUFC offers. John truly understands his role when mentoring arborists and other tree care professionals with trees, urban forests, and developing the next generation of arborists and urban foresters.
John has ideas, experience, talent, drive, and now, as 2025 FUFC President, he has the urban forestry bull by the horns.
