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. ​
