Mission Statement
 

The City of Cut Bank Urban Forestry Advisory Board (UFAB) mission encourages and promotes management, expansion and improvement of our community forestry programs for the benefit of the citizens of Cut Bank. UFAB seeks advice from the State Forester on the direction of the UFAB Urban Forestry Program. Together we work to promote public awareness and education of community forestry and its benefits; advise the people of Cut Bank on community forestry issues and concerns; and encourage the planting, maintenance and management of vegetation in the City of Cut Bank.

Arbor Day is a nationally-celebrated observance that encourages tree planting and care.

National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April, but many states observe Arbor Day on different dates according to their best tree-planting times.

Improve your community with a volunteer tree planting event. Whether you want to plant one tree or 1,000 trees we can provide you with the knowledge and tools to get the trees in the ground.

Learn About Volunteer Tree Planting Events

Improve your community with a volunteer tree planting event. Whether you want to plant one tree or 1,000 trees we can provide you with the knowledge and tools to get the trees in the ground.

The Arbor Day Foundation has numerous resources available to you or your company to plan, organize and execute a tree planting event in your community.

•Our events provide an opportunity for your employees to improve the community where they live and work while earning media attention for your company.

•We’ll help you plant anywhere from 20 up to 200 large trees that will provide immediate benefits to our environment.

•Events are held in the fall and spring, during the best time to plant in your area.

•Parks, schools, community open spaces, and neighborhoods all need trees. We work closely with local partners to determine the best place in your city to add new trees.

•Our events can be completely customized. Choose the location, number of trees, whom to invite, and many other extras to make your event memorable and enjoyable.

•Volunteers gather together in the morning, receive a tree planting demonstration, plant trees and assist with clean up. Events usually last about three to four hours.
