The Texas Urban Forestry Council has embarked upon a new era in encouraging conservation, expansion and protection of our urban forests in Texas, by initiating projects and programs that can be replicated at the local level throughout the state.

Rare, Threatened and Endangered Tree Species The TUFC, with the assistance of board member Brad Hendricks has initiated a program to locate, obtain seeds, propagate and distribute rare, threatened and endangered tree species in Texas.

Urban Forestry Game A game for eight-years old and up that replicates the pitfalls and responsibilities of managing an urban forest, in today's social, political and economic milieu. This project is chaired by board member Jack Riordan with assistance from advisory member, Dr. Lynn Woods.

Tree Planting Competition A time competition based on planting either 100 five-gallon or 25 fifteen-gallon trees. The TUFC provides a grant of $500 to qualified local, regional organizations that sponsor, organize and coordinate competitions. This committee is chaired by board member Jon Seipel.

Trees For Efficiency A program to plant trees for energy conservation at residences that use electricity to power their air conditioners. This program can be self-sustaining and is a feasible way to increase the urban forest, while conserving energy and reducing air pollution.
