The City Forest Certification Program (CFC) is hands-on and designed to guide and empower everyday people with practical knowledge and skills. Neighbor by neighbor and property by property, we can grow and connect a network of forests big and small. The CFC Certified Volunteer Bud Training Program prepares certified volunteers to visit Atlanta area properties & empower community members to improve the health of their yards and community greenspaces. CFC Volunteer Buds meet with renters, homeowners, and community greenspace organizers in Atlanta to offer resources, tools, & suggestions, and award points (acorns) to help them become a certified site through the CFC program. Learn more about the City Forest Certified program here.In order to participate in this training program, applicants must be a Green-Shirt or Certified Volunteer, having completed one of the Volunteer Pathway Programs at Trees Atlanta. In addition, those with relevant career or volunteer experience (i.e. master gardener, master naturalist, arborist, forester, farmer, landscape architect, botanist, etc.) are also welcome to apply.
Much of the training for the CFC Volunteer Bud Program is conducted through self-paced, online training modules. However, we will provide resources and host in-person gatherings/information sessions to support you throughout your training journey. See the 2026-27 training schedule below for more details.
