Urban Forest Hurricane
Recovery Program
The University of Florida /Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) created the Urban Forest Hurricane Recovery Program after the devastation of the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.
The main goal of the program is to foster a healthy urban forest that is more wind-resistant. The program is aimed at citizens and communities who seek to rebuild and set better management practices so that future storms are less devastating.
The Urban Forest Hurricane Recovery Program is funded by the Florida Forest Service and the USDA Forest Service, Southern Region.
