Cross Timbers Urban Forestry Council

The Cross Timbers Urban Forestry Council has been organized to operate exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. It's main focus and purposes are to promote interest and public awareness of tree planting efforts in the Cross Timbers Region. The CTUFC will record, coordinate, support and encourage tree planting efforts.  Stimulate and encourage both the private sector and governmental entities to take an active role in tree planting  while promoting conservation of current trees and wooded areas.

The CTUFC Area is vast and to better serve our communities we have divided up the area into 4 Regions. Through our Citizen Forester program we have educated, trained and graduated hundreds of volunteers. Each region has a coordinator who is responsible for building and maintaining relationships with the municipalities in their region and identifying opportunities for skilled Citizen Foresters to help improve the urban forest of their communities.

Our annual Mayfest tree giveaway provides over 4 thousand free trees to the public in an effort to reinforce a trees importance to our ecosystem.

An annual collegiate scholarship is awarded to two individuals pursuing their education in the field of forestry.
