Welcome to the AUFA!
Established in 1989, the Alabama Urban Forestry Association
(AUFA) , is a committed leader for the issues of urban forestry. AUFA
promotes proper selection, planting and 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. Alabama Urban Forestry Association
