VISION
The vision of the Northern Kentucky Urban & Community Forestry Council is to foster healthy and beautiful Northern Kentucky communities
through responsible environmental stewardship.
MISSION
To create awareness in our communities about the value of
urban forestry as an integral part of comprehensive planning
and action for the purpose of improving our quality of life
and shared landscape.
The Challenge is to merge the man-made and natural environment
so both are accommodated and valued in the process.
Toward this purpose the Council:
- Serves as a forum for the exchange of information, a resource
clearinghouse.
- Serves as a catalyst in the
development and promotion of urban forestry concepts, practices,
techniques, education and public policy.
- Facilitates the involvement
of youth in urban forestry projects and education to develop
tomorrow’s leaders.
- Provides a forum for the
exchange of ideas among all segments of our communities,
including businesses, builders, developers, utilities, citizens,
environmental organizations and government.
- Leads and advocates in our
community for responsible land development and management
and for the protection, maintenance and renewal of our urban
and community forests.
