Welcome to AUFA
Established in 1989, the Alabama Urban Forestry Association (AUFA),
is a committed leader for the issues of urban forestry.
AUFA promotes proper tree care, tree protection and other tree
issues in the urban setting.
As a statewide non-profit
organization, AUFA has a diverse
membership of arboricultural
professionals, horticulturists, landscape workers, educators,
community tree board members,
tree-care volunteers and interested citizens
who care about trees where they
live and work.
Services are designed to support member's efforts to replant, maintain, sustain
and expand
the urban landscape.
In addition, AUFA strives to educate the general public on the
importance of urban trees.
Well-managed trees are
a vital part of the urban environment and
enhance the
quality-of-life in our communities and towns.
The key to their enjoyment is to have trees that are safe, healthy, plentiful, well placed and attractive.
AUFA develops partnerships to further better tree management;
promote professionalism by licensing
and continuing education; produce
seminars and workshops to increase knowledge in arboriculture;
and works with public officials and stakeholders on
issues affecting urban forestry.
