The
mission of the Los Angeles Orange County Urban Forest Council is
to optimize the urban and community forests in theLos Angeles Basin
by planning and promoting sustainable policies and practices to
achieve comprehensive regional management for the benefit of the
region’s communities and ecosystems.
Building
on the recommendations from the California Urban and Community Forest
Summit, and funded through a contract with the California Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection, the California Urban Forests Council
worked with urban forestry stakeholders in the Los Angeles Basin
to create the Los Angeles Orange County Urban Forest Council in
2001. The LAOCUFC is comprised of local government agencies,
private organizations, non-profits, and individuals. They meet quarterly
to network, share information, and discuss projects that will improve
and expand the urban and community forests in the Los Angeles Basin. In
2002 the LAOCUFC voted to become a chapter of the California Urban
Forests Council to become more connected with the statewide urban
forestry community and expand their opportunities.
