Regional Councils

CaUFC wants to help every region of California create and enhance urban forests. Our Regional Councils bring CaUFC expertise and experience to communities throughout the state. CaUFC Regional Councils also sponsor and participate in local events which help communities develop and expand urban forests.

You can learn about each CaUFC Regional Council by clicking on the links below. You can also visit our calendar to learn what’s happening in your area.
