Annual ReLeaf Summer Conference

New York ReLeaf is a state program promoting sound management and care of community trees across our state. It is a cooperative effort coordinated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the NYS Urban Forestry Council (NYSUFC), with major funding supplied through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. The goal of New York ReLeaf is to create partnerships among tree professionals, citizen volunteers, educators, government, and the private sector. The annual ReLeaf State Conference brings together interested parties from across the state to share experiences, ideas, and new information.

All tree enthusiasts are invited to attend this year’s ReLeaf Conference at the Hilton Albany from July 24 – 26, 2024.  Trees can fix and mitigate issues ranging from climate change to stormwater management. Considering trees in all stages of community planning helps maximize their benefits. We’ll hear from speakers on how to plant trees properly. Attendees will also have the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with leading urban forestry specialists and professionals.
