UFORA works with homeowners, builders, engineering firms and other professionals to provide expertise in tree management and restoration. We create arborist reports, ravine stewardship plans, tree protection plans, and invasive species management plans to satisfy government authorities and provide a management plan of the site for the long term.
UFORA can help you implement a vision to regenerate neighborhood green space and urban forests, or just plant a tree on your lawn. We facilitate community tree planting in various projects – from working with individuals; to school and community groups; to organizing corporate events. Let us coordinate the trees and equipment so all you have to do is plant.
With Toronto ravines in a threat of ecological collapse, UFORA strives to deliver a wide range of consulting and contract services to private homeowners, municipalities, community groups and consultants. We focus on the specific site conditions of the local area and incorporate natural materials into the site design to provide habitat for animals and rebuild degraded soils
