Trees play a vital role in Alabama urban landscape.
Well-managed trees are a vital part of the urban environment and enhance the quality-of-life in our communities and towns. The key to their enjoyment is to have trees that are safe, healthy, plentiful, well placed and attractive.

Trees: Making Public Spaces Better
Imagine a park without trees. It’s fine for a ball field, of course, but the shade benefit from a mature tree is enormous. Learn more about the benefits of trees at our annual conference.
Contact AUFA Executive Director, Fred Kapp @ 205-862-2588 or fkapp@bellsouth.net for more information about attending or sponsoring an educational program. But don’t worry, we’re already planning for next year!
