Become a Community Forester<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be an advocate for Dallas\u2019 trees and help conserve and expand our urban forest, why not become a Community Forester?<\/p>\n

A Community Forester serves as the city\u2019s eyes, ears, and hands for tree related issues. Training will provide you with basic expert level tree care necessary to identify trees species, proper planting techniques, and identify risks. All these areas are essential to conserving and eventually expanding our urban forest here in Dallas. To learn more or to sign up for classes, please view our Community Forester page<\/u> (link).<\/p>\n
