"MFI has super-charged me to move my program
forward! The cadre of instructors really inspired me to
expand my sphere of influence and handle tough situa-
tions with finesse."
—Chris Larson, City Forester & Environmental
Services Superintendent, Oakdale, Minnesota
"As difficult as it is to leave work for a week, MFI is
the optimal environment to extend your leadership skills
and move your urban forestry program forward. MFI is a
supportive & safe forum unlike any other experience. MFI
is the ideal environment for the urban forest manager to
connect, reflect, and thrive. Extend yourself: apply for
MFI!"
—Anne Fenkner, Davey Resource Group, Sacramento,
California
