2027 Urban Forestry Institute

The Virtual Urban Forestry Institute (UFI) will be held March 11–12, 2027. This annual conference, hosted by the Florida Urban Forestry Council, brings together urban forestry professionals from across Florida and beyond to “talk trees” and share cutting-edge insights on weather, water, and wildlife as they relate to our urban forests. With 20+ expert speakers and up to 10 CEUs available, this online experience is designed to help you grow professionally, connect with peers, and deepen your practice.

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!
