Why the Ufor Program
Due to a scarcity in Canada and globally, the Urban forestry training program (Ufor) aims to increase the supply of well-qualified professional leaders capable of managing urban forestry (UF) in new urban ecosystems shaped by complex socio-cultural and economic conditions.

The Ufor team
The Ufor network includes 10 members from universities across Canada, 26 collaborators from across the world, graduate students (Msc and PhD) and post-docs from across Canada as well as many partner organizations.
Ufor training
Every year, the Ufor network offers an intensive one-week hands-on summer or early fall school in socio-ecological urban planning and applications of urban forestry to all funded trainees. All Ufor trainees are expected to complete a 1 to 3 month internship with a partner to better understand the partners’ issues and to foster direct interactions and knowledge transfer.
