Visiting Urban Forester

The Visiting Urban Forester program provides communities of all sizes an opportunity to have a professional urban forestry consultant assess and make recommendations about their local urban forest resources. This program is intended as a low-cost, cursory assessment for communities as an alternative to exhaustive and higher-cost professional tree inventories.

The DNR UCF program provides funding through the USDA Forest Service to assist communities by arranging for consultants to tour the community, review current resource conditions, management plans, ordinances, and inventories, and provide written/verbal recommendations on how to continue or initiate new programs based on needs determined.
