*Road Map to a More Sustainable Future - Introduction to the new SFI Urban
and Community Forest Sustainability Standard*

Description: This presentation will quickly set the stage for the evolution
of urban and community forestry and the synergy of bringing SFI into the
sector. We’re actively blurring the lines between urban forests and
traditional forests. Our trees, air, water, and associate macro and micro
flora and fauna don’t recognize political boundaries. Forest certification
has helped us increase sustainability and marketability of our forests and
we’re bringing similar tools to urban and community forests.

The trees and forests where we live, work, learn, and play are vital for
our health, climate adaptation, economy, and sustainability through their
many benefits. SFI is working with Arbor Day Foundation, American Forests,
International Society of Arboriculture, Society of Municipal Foresters, and
Trees Canada to develop the SFI Urban and Community Forests Sustainability
Standard and the resulting certification program to further drive the
evolution and recognition of our urban forestry programs across the US,
Canada, and beyond. Municipalities and counties will be able to work to
this sector-developed standard and receive recognition through the
third-party verified certification.

Join us to learn how we are addressing issues like human health, equity,
climate change, and biodiversity while ensuring organizations utilize
science, research, and technology.
