HELP KEEP OKLAHOMA GREEN & GROWING

It's difficult to image a city or town without trees. They're as much a part of our urban lives as water and sewer services, streets, schools, and traffic signals. And, unfortunately our urban trees are mostly taken for granted in much the same way.

Trees in an urban setting are not considered a high budget priority by local governments. Many cities and communities have not planned adequately for the basic care and future welfare of their urban forests. But when the benefits of trees are fully understood, trees can be made a higher priority resulting in the beginnings of a healthier urban forest.

In cities and towns, trees provide:
  • Noise Reduction
  • Cooling shade
  • Wildlife habitat
  • Improved air quality
  • Added beauty
  • Increased property values
  • Energy savings
  • Protection of soil and water quality
  • A place to build a tree house!
The Oklahoma Urban & Community Forestry Council helps to focus local and statewide attention on taking care of the invaluable asset we call the urban forest. Join the council today and become a champion for the trees where you live.
