The Georgia Urban Forest Council proudly announces the 2010 Georgia Urban Forestry Awards program.  Annually, as part of its mission to sustain Georgia’s green legacy by helping communities grow healthy trees, GUFC enthusiastically rewards individuals, organizations, businesses, municipalities, and counties for outstanding work in protecting and enhancing our community forests. Outstanding work, whether public or private, is eligible for nomination.  Individuals, non-profit organizations, businesses, municipalities and counties, schools, civic groups, and others are welcomed and encouraged to make nominations in more than one category.  A nominee does not have to be a member of the Georgia Urban Forest Council.  Award recipients of this year’s Georgia Urban Forestry Awards will be recognized at GUFC’s 2010 Annual Conference Awards Luncheon on November 18, 2010 at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia.  To download an awards application, click here.  Deadline is September 15.
