Urban forestry toolboxes for free checkout

TUFC has put together urban forestry toolboxes to help communities initiate and develop their urban forestry issues and interests.

The toolboxes are free to check out.

The Base Box is designed to include basic references, hardware and software, and some standard equipment that everyone would need.

The Inventory Box, the City Forester/Tree Board Box, and the Utility Box have additional equipment, hardware and software appropriate to those interests.

For information about the boxes or to schedule their use, call 615-352-8985 or email TUFC.
