Activities worthy of recognition include organizing a tree planting project, educating others about the benefits of trees, preserving trees during development, donating time and/or funds to advance the mission of the Urban Forestry program, developing creative partnerships in community forestry or any other activity that inspires community stewardship of the urban forest.
