Community Foresters Program

The Community Foresters Program is a four-week training course designed to develop a well-prepared and educated volunteer force for Oklahoma City's tree canopy. Through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on activities, participants learn about tree identification,  planting, maintenance, and more!

 

Classes are taught by urban foresters, certified arborists, and community leaders. 

​

To complete the program, participants are required to attend four sessions and complete 10 annual volunteer hours. The series of classes takes place every Saturday in February.  

​​

Once completing the Community Foresters program, participants will have knowledge of tree care and advocacy and be equipped to take on leadership roles in OKC Beautiful’s volunteer events. â€‹
