Community forestry programs come in many
variations, but every well organized and professionally
managed program provides a wide array of valuable
benefits to community residents and to the world
beyond. Evaluating the efficacy of diverse and unique
programs can be a challenge. Communicating success
stories to local residents and community leaders can be
just as challenging—but is vitally important.
The Urban and Community Forestry Program Accreditation
offered by the SMA offers every community the opportuni
-
ty to both evaluate its local program based on objective,
professionally developed standards and to communicate
to others the value and success of that local program.
To assist those communities that are thinking about
the value of accreditation or are considering an appli
-
cation for accreditation, the SMA has developed a
list of Frequently Asked Questions
regarding the accreditation and
application process. Please go to
