Under the unifying push to make our communities greener and healthier for all, the SUFC member organizations are united to:

1. Increase tangible support for urban forests on a national and local level
2. Educate diverse audiences (from policy makers to the public) about the value and need for healthy urban forests
3. Network and leverage resources and knowledge among member organizations

Support for the SUFC was provided by a grant through the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program.
