Urban Forestry
Urban Forestry helps people learn how to care for trees and forests in cities and neighborhoods. Trees are important because they clean our air, protect our water, stop soil from washing away, and give animals a place to live. They also make our parks and streets more beautiful and help keep our cities strong.
The UF/IFAS Extension in Hillsborough County teaches people about trees through classes, events, and helpful guides. We work with homeowners, neighborhoods, and professionals to share science-based information that anyone can use.
What We Offer:
- Tree Care Classes and Events
- Help for Tree Professionals and Homeowners
- Forest Management Tips
- Newsletters and Publications
- Tree Grant Program – Apply to get trees for your community
We serve all of Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, and more. Our goal is to make learning about trees easy and useful for everyone.
