Our Mission
Oregon Urban Rural and Community Forestry is dedicated to fostering resilient, inclusive, and sustainable urban forests for underserved and climate-vulnerable communities across Oregon. Our mission is to restore, protect, and expand urban tree canopies, ensuring equitable access to the critical environmental, economic, and social benefits that healthy urban forests provide. Through education, job creation, and long-term stewardship, we empower these communities to actively participate in the care and growth of their urban forests, building lasting resilience for future generations.
What is Urban Forestry and Why is it Important?
Urban forestry involves the care and management of trees and green spaces in cities and towns, improving air quality, enhancing biodiversity, and combating climate change in our region. These spaces also boost public health by reducing stress, encouraging activity, and filtering pollutants.
OUR Community Forestry extends these benefits to rural areas and a vairety of diverse communities to support healthy ecosystems everywhere. Investing in forestry is a commitment to creating healthier, more resilient landscape for all.

🌳 OUR Community Forestry is in Your Neighborhood! 🌳
We regret to announce that this program has been suspended due to the loss of grant funding, which resulted from executive orders issued by the current administration.
Our team has been out canvassing for the Treesilience Program, bringing vital tree care services to our community! Thanks to grant funding, OUR Community Forestry provides tree planting, pruning, and hazardous tree removal and replacement—all at no cost to eligible recipients.
By investing in our urban canopy, we’re building a healthier, more resilient environment for everyone. If you see us in your neighborhood, say hello! We’re here to help.
