To take action on the President's Proposed FY 2009 Urban and
Community Forestry Program budget, please review the documents
listed below. The survey monkey hotlink at the bottom of the
page will allow your organization to join SUFC's effort to
increase funding for the Forest Service's Urban and Community
Forestry program.
- SUFC FY 2009 Forest Service Budget Recommendations
- SUFC Cover Letter for Recommendations
- SUFC Budget Action Templates and Talking Points
SUFC is still collecting signatures supporting these budget recommendations; however, only signatures submitted by March 24th are included in the hard copy mailing sent to all Members of Congress the last week of March. Organizations should continue to communicate directly with their local and national elected officials through June 2008.
