The Indiana Community Forestry Council (IN-CFC) is a collective of urban forestry-focused professionals and citizens who collaborate to advise the state’s CUF program and to network for best practices and opportunities in urban forestry. The council also functions to meet the US Forest Service requirement that each state must have a functional advisory body to their CUF program in order to be eligible for federal pass-through dollars. Thus IN-CFC’s role is critical for Indiana urban forestry resources.
The council, composed of 15 individuals with diverse backgrounds and careers related to urban forestry, is governed by a set of by-laws developed by council members who serve three-year terms as voting members. The State CUF Coordinator and their staff serve as ex-officio members of the council.
If you are interested in serving on the council or have any other business with the council, please inquire via email.
