Each year, Friends of the Urban Forest offers a series of classes taught by staff and premier guest speakers. Whether you are an experienced FUF volunteer, or are new to FUF’s programs, this is an opportunity to deepen your knowledge and experience with trees. Become a Community Forester, and become a leader in the FUF community!

What is a Community Forester?
Simply put, Community Foresters are FUF’s elite “Tree Corps.” With their experience in the field, and premier training in many areas of San Francisco Urban Forestry, Community Foresters are leaders in the FUF volunteer community.
How do I become a Community Forester?
Sign up for our upcoming Community Forester training! Each year the training is taught by premier guest speakers and our own FUF staff members, and consists of Wednesday evening lectures, each followed by a Saturday morning field day. The 2017 session is now open for enrollment with a start date in late January. Please take a look at the schedule for that training to get an idea of what you’ll experience if you sign up.
How much will it cost?
The cost of the entire training is $300. FUF will waive this fee for any volunteer who commits to spending 20 hours volunteering in a leadership position with FUF — we want you to put your new skills to work!
