CRTI recognizes public and private organizations and individuals who have gone above and beyond this past year on behalf of the regional forest and the residents who live here.
CRTI is looking for nominations for our annual Urban Forestry Awards! Nominate an organization and/or individual who can be used as an example for others to aspire to. We all can make a difference in the regional forest, and we should recognize those that go above and beyond.
Please nominate an organization, individual, or even your own organization or yourself (no need to be shy). You may make multiple nominations.
Winners will be announced at our annual partner recognition celebration in early winter.
Nominations can be made year-round!
