The Washington Community Forestry Council was established under RCW 76.15.020 to advise and support the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in carrying out the mission of the Washington State Urban and Community Forestry Program. The Program’s mission is to provide leadership to create self-sustaining urban and community forestry programs that preserve, plant and manage forests and trees for public benefits and quality of life. The program does this by teaching citizens and decision-makers about the economic, environmental, psychological, and aesthetic benefits of trees. The program also helps local government, citizen groups, and volunteers’ plant and sustain healthy trees and vegetation throughout Washington. The council typically meets five times per year.
